Council Tax - Charges for Water and Waste Water

 

Your Council Tax bill includes charges for water and waste-water services. By law, we must send you a bill for, and collect, these charges on behalf of Scottish Water. Scottish Water is responsible for setting these charges. The charges for water and waste water are set separately. Water charges for 2010 - 2011 have fallen and charges for waste water have risen. This means that there is no increase in the combined water and waste water 2010 - 2011. If you have any questions about the level of these charges, please phone Scottish Water (new window) on 0845 601 8855.

There is a reduction scheme to help some people on low incomes pay their water and waste-water charges. The reduction (up to 25%) helps households with two or more adults, who receive Council Tax Benefit and do not receive a Council Tax discount. The reduction will apply automatically and will be shown in your bill.You do not need to apply for the reduction.
