A Water Invoice is a fundamental document in South African utility services, used to bill customers for water consumption and related services. It is required whenever a water service provider, whether municipal or private, supplies water to customers. The document must comply with South African legislation, including the Water Services Act 108 of 1997, Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000, and Value Added Tax Act 89 of 1991. It typically includes essential information such as consumption details, tariff calculations, service charges, and payment terms. The invoice serves multiple purposes: as a legal demand for payment, a record of consumption, a VAT document, and a reference for both service providers and customers. It's particularly crucial for audit trails, financial reporting, and maintaining transparency in water service provision.
