Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Responsibility for water and sewerage services in Scotland rests with the three water authorities established under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994. Charges for services provided by those water authorities are generally levied under charges schemes drawn up and approved under section 76 of that Act. These Regulations reduce the amount which would otherwise be payable under a charges scheme in respect of the provision of sewerage services to a dwelling. The reduced amount payable in any case falls to be calculated under regulation 3.
