GEORGE NEWS - The municipality has announced that any overdue debts owing to the municipality will be recovered through the prepaid electricity meter system.

This means that if you have not paid your municipal account in full, when you purchase prepaid electrical units from a vendor, at least 50% of your overdue debt will be paid off by your purchase, and the remaining amount will reflect as pre-paid electricity units.

How to check your debt

If you are not sure what your debt is, please phone 044 801 9009/4/17 or 044 801 9135 or 044 801 9518. A duplicate statement can also be requested at accounts@george.gov.za. Payment is due by the 15th of the following month.

Accounts can be paid via electronic transfer (EFT – see details below), Unipay, by clicking on the QR code on your statement, Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, USave, SPAR and Pep. Please take your most recent available account statement with you so that the shop can access the bar code that connects your payment to your GRG account number.
