Section 37 of that Act provides that the Scottish Ministers may determine that local authorities in Scotland, and not Scottish Water, are to demand and recover charges for such services and make payment to Scottish Water. This Order makes provision in that regard. 9 1 Any notice issued by a local authority which includes a demand for water services charges must, subject to paragraph (2), contain the following details— a the gross amount payable as water charges, prior to application of any reduction referred to in sub-paragraph (c); b the gross amount payable as sewerage charges, prior to application of any reduction referred to in sub-paragraph (c); c the amount of any reduction of water services charges attributable to paragraph 14 and Annex A of the Principles of Charging Statement; d the net amount payable as water services charges; and e the name, address and telephone number of the department or unit of the local authority to which enquiries regarding the notice may be directed, together with a note of the hours during which persons may attend at that department or unit with enquiries or during which they may make enquiries by telephone. 2 Where a notice issued by a local authority demands the payment of both water services charges and council tax— a the amount of any reduction referred to in paragraph (1)(c) need not be shown on the notice separately from the amount of reduction of council tax attributable to discounts under section 79 of the 1992 Act; and b the amount referred to in paragraph (1)(d) need not be shown on the notice separately from the net amount of council tax payable. As amended by S.S.I. 2005/51.
