Who must pay water charges?

All non-domestic users of the water service must pay water charges.

Under the Water Pricing policy,  government funding is provided to local authorities for domestic water services only.  Domestic water is very strictly defined to mean water for ordinary household purposes within a residential situation.

There is a specific requirement on local authorities to meter and charge for all non-domestic water supplied and there is no discretion for exceptions because there is no other source of funding.   As is the case with other utilities,  there is no option to waive water charges.  However,  unlike private utility suppliers,  no profit may be made on the service.

It is also hoped that consumers will be conscious of the water they use and will try and conserve water which is a valuable and finite resource.  A lot of water is wasted through taps not being turned off when not in use and through leakages in taps and pipes.  Charging by volume is in accordance with the application of the “Polluter Pays” Principle and the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).

Who pays the annual Management Fees?
The management fees remain the responsibility of the owner of the property.
