The ban, effective from midnight tomorrow (Saturday 8 August), is a response to prolonged dry weather, significantly below-average rainfall and high demand. These restrictions prohibit the use of hosepipes for activities such as watering gardens, washing vehicles, or filling swimming pools, but normal water use for essential tasks remains permitted. The decision follows one of the driest periods in recent years, with England and Wales provisionally recording their driest July on record, leading to drought declarations. South West Water stated the measure is crucial to protect rivers and essential water supplies, urging customers to conserve water during ongoing drought conditions.
