Please note that there will be no disconnections during this period! If JPOMA members are disconnected please contact Angela Rivers immediately! Annie and her team are also not able to work on any accounts until the exercise is complete.
Clearances: there may be delays in the registration of new properties, change of ownership, closing of accounts, as well as the inability to issue clearance figures and certificates to conveyancing attorneys.
Refunds: no refund requests or payments will be made.
e-Joburg platform: customers may experience temporary difficulties in accessing their current invoices and uploading and processing meter readings.
The following services will be available:

Making payments on the system
Payment at walk-in centres
EFT payments through third parties, i.e., Easy Pay, Shoprite Checkers, etc.
