Thames Water has announced a hosepipe ban beginning next Tuesday for customers in a large part of southern England due to prolonged dry weather conditions and low reservoir levels. Customers in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, most of Wiltshire, and some areas of Berkshire will be affected. This decision follows the Environment Agency classifying the area under a prolonged dry weather category. The measures are necessary as the flow in the River Thames has decreased, which affects the water supply to the Farmoor Reservoir.
