KDYHKROHV What you need to know
Municipalities charge for water and sewerage in a block tariff system. The more
6OXGJH you use, the higher the tariff. Municipalities charge for sewerage based only on
6OXGJHLVVRPHWKLQJHOVHWKDWFDQDIIHFW the volume (number of kilolitres) of water that you consume. They calculated
ZDWHUTXDOLW\)RUWXQDWHO\\RXRQO\QHHG some time ago (though very erroneously) that 70 percent of the water that you
WRFKHFNIRUDFFXPXODWLRQRIVOXGJH consume through your water meter is wasted into the sewer as treatable effluent.
Whether you have a rain harvesting system or not, they will only be able to charge
you for the amount of water that has run through the water meter, and the
same goes for the sewerage charge, at whatever tariff is applicable, based on 70
+RZWRUHGXFHDOJDH percent of that metered water.
JURZWK
You will not be charged for the rainwater used at your house. Do not think that
Ć6HOHFWWDQNVZLWKVPRRWKLQQHU you are being unfair: The municipality will still charge you for the effluent portion
VXUIDFHV of your metered water at the rate of 70 percent, even though you may be reusing
Ć3RVLWLRQWDQNVLQWKHVKDGH grey water for irrigation purposes. As a matter of interest, grey water (water from
baths, showers, hand basins and your laundry) and black water (kitchen, toilets
Ć&RYHUWDQNVZLWKVKDGHQHWRU and bidets) goes in the same pipeline to the sewerage treatment works. If you do
FUHHSHUSODQWV recycle grey water from your house to your garden for irrigation purposes, you
send as little as 5 percent instead of 70 percent of your consumed and metered
Ć)LOWUDWLRQV\VWHPVFDQDOVRFDWFK water from municipal source into the sewer for treatment at the sewerage
ORRVHDOJDH treatment works.

COOK ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
The patented COBB cooking system grills, fries, bakes, smokes, boils and warms. This unique light-weight cooking
system is portable, simple to use and virtually smokeless.

the Cobblestone makes your COBB searing hot on the inside, the base remains cool to touch on the outside and
can be picked up and moved around while cooking. Each part of the COBB is dishwasher safe and replacement
parts are readily available in South Africa.
Cooking delicious food on your balcony, in your backyard, on your boat or while camping has never been this
easy. This is the future of outdoor cooking. This is the COBB.
