The industry regulator, the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, requires all license providers to offer their customers a standard, ‘default’ level of service, for a ‘default’ tariff.
This is commonly know as the Industry ‘Default Standard Tariff’, or DST for short, and is the maximum a licence provider can charge you for water and waste services.
Further information is available at: www.watercommission.co.uk
Brightwater Tariffs
All of our tariffs are based on the Default Standard Tariff
DST (minus) Tariffs
Our DST minus tariffs are ideally suited for medium to large business and offers customers a fixed discount on all water, waste water and drainage services provided to their premises. The level of discount received depends on which services that are provided to their premises, the level of use, and the length of term of our agreement.
Brightwater Saver Tariff
Our Brightwater Saver Tariff is ideally suited to small business with low usage and offers customers a variable discount on water and waste services. Charges for each individual service has been discounted to offer the greatest savings possible with savings on services varying from 7.5% up to 40%
