Not heard of a local ban, although I've not been around lately.

Our water company was I believe, the 1st in the country to have authority to require us all to have water meters. Ours has already been fitted, so hopefully this generally will make a difference to water wastage.

We haven't had one here in Surrey as yet.

Perhaps all these recent storms have filled up the reservoirs.

Strange isn't it? Where have they found all the 'spare' water from?
Have the water companies been forced to mend their own leaks ( which was the most prolific water waste)?

Not yet ... but I expect we will.

We have three butts now so that helps a bit.

A hosepipe ban yet this year?
Normally in the UK, 3 hot days on the trot means a ban!
