Honestly in this case it's not that different to most parts of England, it's a flat fee collected through council tax same as the flat fee paid in England, at least anywhere I've stayed in England... Not sure if anywhere still has actual water meters? But yeah it's clearly separated out on the bill, there's a council tax amount + a water & sewage amount. When we moved up from Lancs the total of that bill was more or less the same as council tax + separate water down there. Swings and roundabouts.
One thing that does make it slightly different though is that in Scotland if you're council tax exempt (e.g. full benefits or students) you don't pay for the water part either, whereas in England you still had the separate water bill to pay.
My council tax is horrendous these days though, £270ish/month 💀
