An update on our hosepipe ban

Why every drop still counts

Hello,

We’ve had a hosepipe ban in place for over two months now – so surely the recent heavy rain means we can remove it?

Unfortunately, that’s not the case just yet – and here’s why.

Drought is a deep-seated problem

To keep taps flowing, we rely on natural water sources that collect water deep below the surface.

These sources refill when rain soaks down to them. But months of low rain means the top soil is acting like a dry sponge, stopping moisture from reaching deep enough underground.

New figures show we had 100mm of rain in October, but only 6mm of that will reach our sources. We need many more weeks of above-average rain to help them recover.

We're doing our bit

We’re working round the clock to do our bit too – check out how many leaks we’ve been fixing.

Here’s the good news

Although we can’t lift our hosepipe ban just yet, saving water at home and work will help our sources recover sooner. That’s good for the environment and makes it less likely we’ll need restrictions next spring. And better yet, saving water can also help save you money.

We’ve got some top tips to make every drop count.

Thank you for upholding the hosepipe ban and for any savings you’re making around the home. They really do make a big difference.
