Hosepipe bans

... thanks for the info Oreo

I would imagine a universal hosepipe ban will be implemented at the very least.

In our area the weather forecast for the next 12 days shows temps in the upper twenties with little respite at night and no indication of rain.

It's the fabled 1976 summer all over again.

I have permission and I asked them for a letter which says I can use my hose officially if needs be. They kindly sent one.

Or just do it at 4 am when its cooler anyway and the nosy buggers wont see you.

If there’s a hosepipe ban, why would you want to breach it?

I’d never heard of this and was pleasantly surprised when I looked it up . A neighbouring water company to mine includes having children under 5 or a major life event like a bereavement . I’m lucky where I live because 85% of our water comes from underground so we’re incredibly unlikely to have a ban

Just seen there is another thread on this, with some worry about being reported by nosy neighbours, but if you are state pension age you can register as they don’t really expect pensioners to be carting heavy watering cans around, it would be beyond most if they have a good sized garden or loads of pots to water.No need to be nervous of using this exemption.

Thanks Oreo,
