Yorkshire Water has announced a hosepipe ban starting July 11, aimed at conserving water amid one of the driest springs on record in the region. From February to June, only 15cm of rainfall was recorded, which is less than half of the typical average. The warm spring has also resulted in higher water demand, causing the reservoirs to be at only 55.8 percent of their capacity, 26.1 percent lower than normal. Action is deemed necessary to protect the environment and manage water resources effectively.
Yorkshire Water announced a temporary use ban (TUB) effective from July 11, restricting hosepipe use to conserve water during one of the driest springs on record.
The region has recorded just 15cm of rainfall between February and June, which is less than half the average expected for this period.
Yorkshire's reservoirs are currently at 55.8 percent capacity, significantly lower than the normal level for this time of year due to increased demand.
Dave Kaye, Yorkshire Water's director of water, emphasized the need for immediate action to conserve water and protect the environment.
