FRIDAY, 12.30PM:
THE Johannesburg City Council is threatening to cut off the water supply to the Reserve Bank’s Newtown headquarters unless a claimed R46 600 in arrears is not paid by the weekend.
Bank manager Mike Smith denied that Bank is in arrears with its water payments.
However, a council source confirmed that the Bank’s water supply will be cut off on Monday because the account is in arrears.
The council has begun to cut off electricity water supplies to service charge defaulters in an attempt to improve payment levels. The water cut-offs will be applied slowly, initially against high-profile defaulters.
