Some Important Information From Comments
Comments:
1. I have been waiting 3 days to have our electricity reconnected as it was disconnected in error. I was told on Wednesday afternoon that someone will me. Nonsipho phoned me yesterday confirming they will reconnect my electricity but, still waiting.
2. I have been trying to arrange with your office to have my four (4) bills emailed to me, without success. The posted bills are arriving either late (or) not at all, so my bills are not being paid timeously. I have emailed my request, as well as tried registering, tried calling Customer Care, all FAILED attempts, with no response.
Error / Problem:
1. I have tried registering several times over the last 3 months but, have been frustrated by the very unfriendly registration system. I tried several times to use the facility by entering my billing account number on the e-service portal but, that doesn’t yield anything too. What else do I try, short of visiting the Municipal building in Durban Central every month?
2. This a poorly designed website professing to be user-friendly. The list of complaints is three times the length of the website. Communicating with the Durban municipality is like playing squash in a tent. There’s no response!!

Durban Metro sucks. I used to receive my monthly bill by e-mail. No bill for the last month. To try and register to view it online is impossible. The OTP number does not come through. Pathetic.
your eservices is not working. there is a disjuncture between filling yuor information and the time it takes to generate the OPT. when the OPT is sent the system does not allow it.
13 Piet Retief Road, Malvern
there are two street lights that are not working ever since, it is three years now. for security reasons, the area is not safe and it is in front of my gate. Please fix them. Crime is rife at Malvern
please fix the efiling site it does not work..
useless

ACCOUNT 836140XXXXXX
I am kindly requesting my bill. I applied for the online service unfortunately there is a waiting period. I would like to pay my bill ASAP.
Kind regards
frustated i have tried from the time of inception and just cannot register online to recieve my statements. helpterr
i would like to register to get a monthly statement on my account
I cannot register on line, the OTP number arrives after time allocated - most annoying system to try to navigate!
Very frustrating has I cannot register my details. Can someone pleases fix this site so that people can register, log in and get their monthly accounts. Even your call centre is always busy or off line.
hi the only way I get my light bill sorted is by calling in for my balance .I've tried registering to get it via email but whenever they send you the pin it takes about five minutes to come in.by the time you put the pin it tells you it's invalid .. how does a person stay sane already stressed out having to pay bills but canot get to the bill this is very frustrating.to the friendly people answering when I do get through iam gratefull and really a big thank you.
Hi, I have applied for billing via email about a week ago. A week later I recieved all my billing statements. Good service. Tops
The link to check your balance not working, it is fairly impossible to register. by the comments from other users, you really need to check that your stuff is working. it is horrible to use your services!! Used to receive my bill via email and then it just stopped.
Absolutely useless site and Ethekwini Municipality does NOTHING to improve this.
I've been battling for months to get my account copies and nothing yet.
Useless site
The most useless sight ever made, just as useless as their management.
Absolutly useless
The made by Mr Phindile Magwaza, a pensioner, has explained in detail, his frustrations in having his matter of underground leaks, the exorbitant bill, the falure of Westwood Ins non assistance, and the extortion by city employed officials tasked to ” shut me down ”
I do indeed identify with this, as I had found myself in the exact same position, in and around the very same time.
Having seen Mr Magwaza's post, I find that not only did I experience the same torment from the Council employees, verbatum, but, the amounts are exactly the same.
I find that my curiosity is now piqued as this appears to follow a pattern.
It would be too much of a coincidence to believe otherwise.
To tell the truth, being a pensioner just like Mr Magwaza, I do have the time to look into this.
I would certainly need to locate other individuals that might have; and I certainly believe there are; found themselves in this similar position.
I am most curious to scrutinize the amounts on the bills more than anything else.
How do I begin?
Well, I guess the best place to start would be to furnish my email address citizenkane066 [at] outlook.com on this platform and invite anybody at all whom might have had the same experience to contact me on this email.
I look forward to receiving these responses, and maybe, just maybe this "GOD COMPLEXED" individuals may need to take a closer look at themselves.
Please contact me.
Thank you
I have recieved no electricity bills for at least 2 months or more. I was cut off for not paying the correct amount last time. I have tried to register with eservices but it just doesn't work no mater how I try. Please tell me how much I owe and what to do next. Ronald Constant Acc No 5561530XXXX

I've tried registering several times over the last 3months but, have been frustrated by the (very) unfriendly registration system.
I tried several times to use the facility by entering my billing account number on the e-service portal but, that doesn't yield anything too. What else do I try - short of visiting the Municipal building in Durban Central - every month?
my account number is 831070XXXXX - we are sent an e-mail advising our Telkom amount to be paid - we tried to register on your site - all of 10 times - cannot get anything.
All we want is to save our municipality money by not having to post pieces of paper.
Can anyone assist.

Hi please can i have the electricity bill for now to pay.

I been trying to register & went to ebalance nothing happens
I need to pay my account
Sad and very disappointing when people want to pay bills but cannot get a billing statement. Thousands out of job .please employ competent people.
Absolutely useless . Call centre a waste of time .
every time I phone, It reply's not a valid Number try again. I used to get a email with my balance also a email now I get nothing . I have tried every number on my account other than the main number, sadly no body answers. All I want to do is pay my account.
I tried to find out why my water and lights/rates account is so erratic . One month I receive and then others I don't receive . When I phoned in the lady said she did not know why . I then was in the process of asking her who do I contact and she put the phone down on me . So rude and the call centre operators hide behind their anonymity .
Please use email address to send account balances.Improve your communication.
useless like everything else

Good Day
My Credit authority was cancelled. I went to pay on the date of payment and the Sizakala offices in Tongaat closed at 11am due to the water issues. Now they are asking me to pay an amount of R14 000.00 immediately to avoid suspension of electricity services. What do I do now.
ADSAM, these guys seem to be inflicted with a GOD COMPLEX. I find myself in a similar situation in that they refuse to address these issues despite even speaking with them one on one. I am a pensioner, and, discovered there had been underground water leaks on my premises. I received my utilities bill, which appeared to be the usual reasonable amount. However, the bill in the following month had been had been way too high, like in excess of R40000. I followed this up, however, I took the initiative to renew all water pipes at my premises. Having done this, I sought assistance from this Westwood Ins. company. after having put a dispute in place, as this is the only way one could force these guys from disconnecting my services. Despite this, the municipality went on adding this ridiculous amount of R40000 to my bill, on the basis of billing me on the average usage they claimed. I returned to the municipality, when I was advised that the only way to address this, will be to settle the amount, before they would attend to my matter. By this stage, I was slapped with a bill of R120000. Eventually, water loss ins. paid out R1200, which left me with this huge debt. I explained my plight to the municipality, when I was asked to go to the water dept. upon Prior lane. Having done this, I was referred to a social worker setup that they had. I was told that I would be visited by a social worker within 3 months. In this period, I had been facing individuals arriving at my premises to " shut me down " as they put it. I returned to Water Dept. where a social worker reiterated that I should be patient, and they will visit me to assess why it is that I could not foot the bill. They were to come by to see my living conditions, so as to take a decision. This was done in October 2021. To date, I have not received that visit. By now, I was kept under threat of having my services "shut down" I was required, om each occasion, to give these guys money for cool drinks and such, so," they would be able to HELP me" This went on forever, and had become really traumatic. RESULT: I went into my bond account and borrowed against my account, and made payment, as my credit arrangement had been cancelled for no apparent reason. ADSAM, that miracle is not going to happen. You are going to have to go back, and do a fresh credit authority. You will find that you will be needed to put down 50% of the amount owed, before you will be attended to with the reasoning being " you have failed to keep to your agreement. You're not alone ADSAM.
Can you please email me the statement for water and electricity every month. The account number is 83283XXXXXX. In the meantime please email me April. I am no longer receiving it via the post box at UMlazi. Your help will be much appreciated.
please forward my billing readings monthly via email
