WASA Precautionary Measures
WASA advises its consumers to exercise caution and follow these important guidelines:
- WASA Staff Payments: The WASA staff is not authorized to accept cash payments on behalf of consumers. Therefore, WASA will not be responsible for any claims related to cash payments made to WASA employees.
- Cash Payments Caution: Be cautious of individuals who may fraudulently collect cash payments under the pretext of meter changes. Avoid making cash payments to unauthorized persons.
- Meter Change Identification: When a dead meter needs changing, ensure that the field staff member, authorized to make the change, has the signed application form submitted at the WASA office. Verify their identity before allowing the meter change.
- Unauthorized Water Connection: The installation of an unauthorized water connection without sanction is a serious offense and may lead to legal proceedings.
- Property Purchase and Rent: Before purchasing a property, verify that no water utility bill arrears are outstanding. If you’re renting, ensure that all utility bills, including water and sewer, are up-to-date.
