The Amathole District Municipality has embarked on a debt reduction payment scheme to encourage residents and businesses to pay for municipal services.

The Council meeting held on 31 May 2019, resolved to provide an incentive framework detailed below, within which qualifying debts of participants to the scheme will be written off in exchange for prompt, and timeous payments of future accounts rendered by the Municipality. The incentive scheme excludes government departments, parastatals and Municipalities.

Eligibility for participation in the scheme is subject to terms and conditions as contained in the approved debt incentive scheme policy; applications received for participation in the scheme are to be received within the validity period of the scheme, which will commence on 1 June 2019 and will terminate on 31 August 2019.

The Municipality strongly urges all residents and consumers to take advantage of this once off offer; participation in this scheme is aimed at providing the consumer a rare opportunity to both save money, and bring their municipal accounts into good standing, whilst providing much needed resources for the Municipality to improve the current service offerings within the community.

Effective 01 September 2019, Council will be adopting a zero tolerance campaign against all consumers who are in arrears for service related charges; strict enforcement of the credit control and debt collection bylaw will culminate in the termination of services to site, and legal action being instituted for the recovery of all outstanding arrears.
