Water companies warn of potential hosepipe bans soon
Briefly

In the UK, water companies are urging customers to conserve water due to persistent drought conditions. Some companies are contemplating hosepipe bans due to low reservoir levels, while others remain confident that such measures won’t be necessary. Advice is being provided on efficient water use for home and garden, emphasizing the importance of responsible consumption. Notably, Severn Trent has not implemented a hosepipe ban in nearly 30 years, highlighting the mixed responses from different companies regarding the management of water resources during this critical time.
"Our reservoir levels are slightly lower than the position expected for this time of year due to the recent fine weather, and we are taking our usual actions to manage our water supplies."
"During a significant drought, we may need to implement a Temporary Use Ban (or TUB), more commonly known as a 'Hosepipe Ban'".
"The Midlands hasn't had a hosepipe ban in 30 years, and Severn Tr... remains confident in avoiding one this year."
