    yes, although it is listed seperately on the bill, it is included in the total bill and when calculating the monthly charge.

    eh, yes, and no.

    The water and waste water charges are based on the Council Tax Band for each house.

    The Council Tax Bill includes charges for Water and Sewerage services from Scottish Water, which the Council collects on behalf of Scottish Water.

    There was no increase in Council Tax for 2013/14, but there was a 2.8% increase by Scottish Water.
