Why are Sub Meters necessary?

The municipality may only provide one water and electricity meter on a premises.
Any sub metering must be done by a private contractor such as Utility Wise.

What if my premises already has a municipal prepaid meter?

The owner of the premises will have to ensure that there are sufficient credits on the Municipal meter which is supplied directly from the authority so that all the sub-meters within it can make use of it.
Utility Wise takes over the Centlec meter and ensures that there are sufficient credits on the Municipal meter which is supplied directly from the authority so that all the submeters within it can make use of it. No payment is then made to the owner, and the money paid by the tenants is used to maintain the credit on the Municipal meter.

Peace of mind tariff control

The rate that may be charged by Utility Managers such as Utility Wise is controlled by NERSA.

Centlec and Managung Municipality also have tariffs that they have approved for the resale of power and water.

Utility Wise keeps very strictly within these limits provided by the authorities.

The rate that the tenants pay is 10% higher than what the power and water can be purchased for directly from the local authority.

This 10% is divided between all the service providers to make the sub metering possible. These are all Vendors/Supermarkets, Online purchases, Mobile phone purchases and the System used for this.

Utility Wise only charges this 10% which is prescribed.
