Water and Waste Charges

East Renfrewshire Council only collects Water and Wastewater charges on behalf of Scottish Water. Water and Wastewater charges are therefore the responsibility of Scottish Water:  The Council does not retain any of the income from these charges.

In 2008/9, Water and Wastewater charges will increase by 3.7%.
