A Discount of 25% is available
for properties occupied by one liable person aged 18 years or over. The
Discount is 50% where the property is not the sole or main residence of
any person. With effect from 1 April 2006 all water charges no longer attract a 50% discount.
In assessing residency, certain
categories of residents are disregarded.
For example:
- students, student nurses and apprentices
- long-term patients in a hospital or a hostel
- persons in detention
- severely mentally impaired persons
- certain types of care workers.
If you are granted a Discount
and the circumstances which led to that Discount alter, you must notify
the Council.
The documentary evidence that must be provided to support each application is detailed on the relevant form.
Other types of discount may be available, please get in touch.
