The UK is facing critical water supply issues as reservoirs deplete earlier than expected, prompting South East Water to urge customers in Sussex to limit water use to essential activities. A hosepipe ban is already in effect in Sussex and Kent, with ongoing monitoring in other areas for potential further restrictions. With temperatures increasing past 30C in some regions, a yellow heat health alert has been issued. Over 8.5 million households are affected by existing hosepipe bans from various water companies amid the heatwave.
Tens of thousands of people in the UK have been warned to restrict water use due to rapidly declining water reservoirs, and hosepipe bans are in effect.
South East Water has instructed customers in Sussex to use water only for essential purposes as parts of the UK prepare for a fourth heatwave.
