Read this before you compare anywhere else

Your water bill is inside your council tax

In Scotland you do not get a separate water bill. Scottish Water charges you for water and for taking waste water away, and your council collects it on the same bill as your council tax.

Band A — the most common band in Scotland

£435

a year of water charges — £201.30 for water and £233.58 for waste water

Band D — the standard comparison band

£652

a year of water charges — £301.95 for water and £350.37 for waste water

This is why other websites give you a lower number. They quote the council tax and leave the water out. Every figure on this site includes it.

If you get Council Tax Reduction you can also get up to 35% off the water charges. That is the Water Charges Reduction Scheme, and your council applies it for you. Charges shown are 2026-27.
