Thames Water has warned of potential hosepipe bans affecting millions unless water shortages improve. They attributed supply strain to diminished rainfall and heightened demand in recent months. Yorkshire Water has already implemented a hosepipe ban, citing peak demand levels comparable to the 2022 drought. Customers are advised to conserve water, including limiting shower times and letting lawns dry. Both companies emphasize the need for water conservation to maintain essential supplies for customers.
"Thames Water urged customers to limit their water use to avoid the need for restrictions. They stated that supplies have been stretched by a lack of rain and increasing demand due to the heat over the last few months."
"Unless the situation changes significantly, we will need to put usage restrictions, including a hosepipe ban, in place to ensure taps keep running for customers' essential use," said a Thames Water spokesperson.
