Can you help with a bill that I have paid twice?

If you have made a payment twice, proofs of payments (receipts) will have to be presented in order to initiate any further actions. You can apply for a refund or it will appear as a prepayment on your next bill.

Why is my bill high?

Excessive bills may arise because:

  • More people in your household.
  • You have hosted an event (marriage)
  • Your pipe network is leaking after meter.
  • Overflow toilets/tanks, dripping taps or faulty fittings can also waste water and increase your usage.
  • Swimming or large paddling pool
  • Air in pipeline can also cause meter to run and give rise to a high bill/consumption. We therefore recommend consumers to install an air valve before their water meter to allow air out of their water network.

It is the consumer’s responsibility to repair all leakages after their water meter.

I have no water, is there a problem in my area?

For any no water issues or leakages call our dedicated hotline on 170 more information.

How can I request a meter test?

A request has to be made in person with a copy of your ID and your latest CWA bill. A meter testing fee of Rs 500 will be charged. Another meter will be fixed parallel to your pipeline just after the existing meter. If the result of the monitoring exercise is the same as your meter, the water bills are maintained.  If the result of the monitoring exercise is negative, the bills are amended. The meter testing fee is refunded and your meter is changed.

How do I make a complaint?

You can get in touch with us by emailing us on onlineservices@cwa.intnet.mu or call our dedicated Customer Care Hotline on 170.
