Hosepipe ban map: Where restrictions are in place as UK heatwave temperatures continue.
Everyone should be ‘mindful of their water use’ amid the heatwave, an Environment Agency chief has said.
Millions of UK water customers have been banned from using hosepipes over the coming days and weeks as the third heatwave of the year causes drought fears to grow.
Prem Sikka, Emeritus Professor of Accounting. Member, UK House of Lords, comments:
“Hosepipe bans as water companies lose trillion litres of water to leaks. No new reservoir since 1989. No national water grid. Yet govts talk about resilient infrastructure and persist with water privatisation.”
