​The cost to convert from a traditional power meter to a pre-paid meter can be obtained from any of the Joburg Water offices.
Only residents of Soweto, Cosmo City and Lehae can currently apply for a pre-paid water meter. A door-to-door campaign will be conducted by Joburg Water. Anyone taking up the offer will need to sign an agreement. You will need a copy of your ID and an account statement for the agreement.

You can also go to the Joburg Water office, at 1 Calendula Drive, Klipspruit West, to apply for a pre-paid meter.​
