they switch my water off again...i stripped the water meter and looked for the washer they fit to restrick the water...anyone wher ethey fit this washer...a picture would be even better.

anyone have any ideas on how to slow the meter down...without reducing the useage or removing the meter completely and putting a bridge too visible...send me a pm...thanks

There is a water control device which fits under your meter and restricts the flow, but you have to remove the meter to get at it and switch the water back on again.

Murdock,

You seem to be a magnet that attracts all sorts of sh... ( trouble)

I mean what else can go wrong.......can go wrong........can go wrong.

its because i look for it...today i went to the municipality out of principle...to get my rates reduced and to sort out a payment plan because i havent paid water or lights or rates for a couple of months...not because i cant afford it because i hate getting scr*wed...just out of principle...unless someone can tell me why my rates increased from R300 to R900 i will be trying everything to get it back down even if its only R400...this rain is like a blessing because it will also assist...because it is causing damage to the property...

it turned out to be a rather productive afternoon...got to pay back the arrears almost interest free

got advice on how to reduce my rates and the way i see it from what i learnt this afternoon...best i dont fix any of the structual damage...cracks in the floor etc...until i get my rates reduced...if all goes according to plan i could get as much as R400 off my monthly bill
