You are responsible the sewerage standing charge.

The surface drainage charge depends where your surface water goes - into the sewer/running into the road or into a soakaway. If you do a search on this forum you will find a lot of information about this.

If you have a tenant in your property it depends on the rental agreement who pays - if you are on a meter you would be unwise to pay it yourself as your tenant would have no incentive to be careful with water.
