Hosepipe Restrictions

Weeks of hot, dry weather and record water use mean we're using more water than ever before. These restrictions will help make sure there's enough water for homes, businesses and essential services, while protecting our local rivers and the environment.

What does this actually mean?

During the temporary use ban, you must not use a hosepipe for things like:

• Watering your garden
• Washing your car
• Cleaning patios and driveways
• Cleaning walls and windows
• Filling paddling pools, swimming pools or hot tubs
• Filling ponds and ornamental fountains
• Using jet washers

The restrictions also apply to sprinklers and pressure washers connected to the mains water supply. We know this may be really disappointing, especially during the ongoing hot weather.
