South East Water has announced restrictions in Kent and Sussex due to unprecedented water consumption levels. Yorkshire Water implemented similar measures to protect supplies amid ongoing dry weather. The situation worsens as the UK braces for a third heatwave, forecasted to bring temperatures exceeding 34C. Other companies may follow suit with bans if water supply issues persist, compounding concerns about the ongoing water crisis.
Hosepipe bans have been introduced across parts of England as the country suffers drought conditions and water shortages following a prolonged spell of dry weather.
