A "tariff" means a service charge that the municipality charges for the use of services. The prices of these services should be affordable, to the people who use the services, and to the municipality itself. Ward committees should advise councillors on the services needed in the area, what is an affordable price (or "tariff") for the services, and how to ensure that people pay for their services. Community organisations should get involved in consultation meetings to discuss efficient and cost-effective service delivery.
