A simple way to stay in control
Most households receive "blind bills", a number on a page with no easy way to check if it makes sense.
South Africa's billing systems are old, and many families feel uncertain or anxious when the municipal bill arrives.
MyWater gives you a clear, friendly way to check your usage beforehand. By sending a photo of your meter, you'll know what your water spend should look like and can prepare with confidence.
It's a small step, but it brings back peace of mind.
