4.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (5), a relevant undertaker’s charges scheme shall provide that a qualifying consumer shall be charged—
(a)a water affordability tariff for the supply of water; and
(b)a sewerage affordability tariff for the provision of sewerage services,
in respect of a dwelling which a qualifying consumer occupies as his only or principal home.
(2) Where a qualifying consumer receives either a supply of water or is provided with sewerage services, but not both, the relevant undertaker’s charges scheme shall provide that the qualifying consumer shall be charged either the water or sewerage affordability tariff but not both.
(3) Each affordability tariff is equal to the guaranteed figure x 52 x 0.03 x 0.5.
(4) The “guaranteed figure” is the figure, for the time being, set out in Regulation 6(1)(b) of the State Pension Credit Regulations 2003 (Northern Ireland)(1) on 1st December in the year before any charges scheme takes effect.
(5) Where a qualifying consumer occupies a dwelling that has a capital value of £100,000 or less the relevant undertaker’s charges scheme shall provide that the affordability tariffs are adjusted as follows—
(a)where the capital value of the dwelling is between £70,000 and £100,000, the affordability tariffs shall be multiplied by 0.75; and
(b)where the capital value of the dwelling is £70,000 or less, the affordability tariffs shall be multiplied by 0.5;
and the qualifying consumer shall be charged the relevant adjusted affordability tariffs instead of the affordability tariffs.
