Liability for rates arises under local government legislation. The Water Services Act 2007 requires water services authorities to charge for the full cost of the provision of water services to non-domestic users, while prohibiting charging for water services provided to households for domestic purposes. Water services authorities must determine their charges for the provision of water supplies to non-domestic consumers on a non-profit basis.
