Scottish Water

Water and waste water service charges

Your council tax bill includes charges for your water supply and waste water collection services from Scottish Water.

The charges you pay allow Scottish Water to operate and improve water and waste water services and infrastructure in communities across Scotland.

These charges apply to every household which has a connection to the public water supply, the public waste water network, or both.

Your water and waste water charges are based on the council tax band for your home and will be shown on your council tax bill, even if you receive Council Tax Reduction.

Some council tax exemptions and discounts will also apply to these charges, such as single occupancy or if you are a student.
