Water Prices could quadruple

Due to the pollutions of our scarce and valuable water resources, the consumer could face price hikes of Eskom quantities. If you harvest your rainwater for household consumption, you could dramatically reduce your reliance on the municipal grid and save yourself some money.

Eco Origin have now done installations for AVI, Vodacom, Wits university and many [...]

Water Supply is a concern…. still

These water shortage warnings are not new. For months and months we have been going on and on about what can be done to tackle shortages and water quality, yet the government has come up with little.

Last week Business Times reported on a looming water crisis, to surprisingly muted response. We had reported similar misgivings [...]

Water markets follow carbon market trend

A very interesting article by Christo Marais. At Eco Origin, we are all for water infrastructure investment, but with water tariffs as low as they are and with free water promised to all, the proper investment required will never be achieved.

The government needs to obviously improve current infrastructure, but encourage business and residential water [...]

Get Solar water heating on finance plus cash bonus

Eco Origin and Hudu can now offer you a great deal when it comes to installing a Solar Water Heater at your home. Solar water heating is expensive and that is why we are now offering it on finance to make it more affordable. 

The great part about it is that the rebate offered (between R5k [...]

Water Crisis may hinder SA development

If we wait until the government chooses correct policy towards this country’s water issues, it will be too late. The prices will continue to rise and there will end up being outtages similar to the Eskom debacle of a couple of years ago. 

It is time for us to recycle our rain water and re-use our [...]

Zuma’s speech about Solar water Heating

Israel has 90% solar water, SA could learn

South Africa can learn a lot from what Israel are doing domestically with regards to their water heating needs. It is staggering that we are so far behind.

With Eskom’s inability to provide sufficient power consistently and with spiralling electricity prices it really makes sense to save electricity on our water heating.

Geysers use up [...]

Time for Nersa to step up

 It is now time for NERSA to stand up and take this country’s power problems in hand. 50 Megawatts is not enough on Solar power when the potential is so much greater.

It is now time to rely less on Eskom and their purely coal based solutions and allow the renewable energy sector to grow, [...]

Opposition of SA coal mines grows

Once again the government has contradicting policies on how to a) solve our energy crisis and b) championing itself as progressive in terms of green energy. 

Eskom has introduced the rebate system for solar water heating, but it really doesn’t go far enough. The rebate should be greater and there should be tighter control on the [...]

Electricity up 18%, water up 11% in July

I am afraid that this will be a common story throughout the country. Durban announced a similar story yesterday. The price of electricity and water is increasing this year, with hefty increases due in the years to come.

There are solutions that will save money, and reduce your reliance on the grid.

For electricity, we offer [...]
