Serving the Community together.
A number of residents have become very concerned with the substantial number of new buildings in Greyton that are wholly inappropriate for the sort of rural village we chose to live in, do not comply with the Guidelines established to control the architectural features and aesthetics of the built environment, and may detract from the amenity and real value of property in general.

Water restrictions and tariffs in TWK – Official Notice
The TWK municipality had a Special Council Meeting yesterday to debate the Water Tariff Structure, after many complaints about the implications of the adopted Tariff Structure for water usage during times of Water Restrictions.
The TWK municipality had a Special Council Meeting yesterday to debate the Water Tariff Structure, after many complaints about the implications of the adopted Tariff Structure for water usage during times of Water Restrictions.
Submissions from concerned stakeholders had been received by TWK after the announcement of the “double” water tariff. The Ward 2 Forum made a comprehensive submission, Tariff proposals and motivation during a meeting with TWKM last week, on behalf of its members in the TWK Ward 2. This submission was based on the research done by our team on the implication of the unilateral doubling of rates for water usage. It was found that the proposed rate would have little to no effect on the objective of saving water and would only really affect the lower income and the business sector.
It is thus with a measure of relief that we are able to announce the new and amended Water Tariffs as adopted by the TWKM Council yesterday morning.
In short:
The restricted domestic water tariff for consumption
Full Tariff prices will be available on our website in due course.
The business water tariff will be subject to an application for potential exemption from the higher rates. Each application will be reviewed on merit. The required form for this application is being obtained from TWKM and the Ward 2 Forum will ensure these are available to businesses that wish to apply for the exemption.
The Ward 2 Forum team will endeavour to keep you informed on any further developments in respect of the Water Tariff Structure. We believe that there are still aspects of this policy that still need to be questioned and hopefully corrected. We also wish to congratulate our Mayor and her team for the leadership shown in the way they tackled this problem through a process of Public Participation.
For additional information please do not hesitate to contact the Ward 2 Forum.

There has been much confusion after a notice was published by TWK Municipality regarding rates for water usage as from 1st November 2016.
In terms of the Municipal Tariff Rates, as accepted by the TWKM Council for the 2016/17 Budget for the supply of potable water, the following applies.
