The water availability charge is also waived.
To verify acceptance, the following documents need to be submitted with the application form, which is available from the municipal offices:
- Proof of identity for all members of the household
- Latest municipal account
- Proof of income for all members of the household over the age of 18
- Latest salary or wage slip if employed, confirming income
- An affidavit if the person is self- employed, indicating the income earned

- A bank statement for the last three months
There is only just over a week left, and residents are asked to pass on the information to any people they know who benefit from the IGG tariffs.
