HOSEPIPE BANS: Parched parts of England are facing a hosepipe ban amid very dry conditions and ahead of another predicted heatwave
The first hosepipe bans, also known as temporary use bans , were introduced on Friday in parts of southern England, with further restrictions earmarked for the South East of England and south-west Wales later this month. “We would like to thank all our customers for supporting these restrictions and for doing your bit to protect your local rivers.”The current restrictions cover using a hosepipe to water a garden, clean a vehicle, or wash windows. They also include filling a paddling pool, domestic pond or ornamental fountain.
Months of little rainfall, combined with record-breaking temperatures in July, have left rivers at exceptionally low levels, depleted reservoirs and dried-out soils. All of this has put pressure on the environment, farming and water supplies, and is fuelling wildfires.The Met Office has warned there is “very little meaningful rain” on the horizon for parched areas of England as temperatures are set to climb into the 30s next week.
