Temporary Hosepipe Ban introduced by Wessex Water
From Wessex Water:
Following a period of record breaking heatwaves and lower-than-average rainfall, our water supply network is under increasing pressure.
We’ve seen record levels of demand for water and with more hot weather to come and no significant rain forecast, we’ve made the difficult decision to introduce a hosepipe ban.
The hosepipe ban starts on Tuesday 18 August at 00:01hrs. From this point customers must not use a hosepipe for activities covered by the restrictions.
For details of the hosepipe ban, the restrictions, who is affected etc please view the Wessex Water website.
