Well i doubt any one will be interested and its kinda a boaring subject really, but some of you who know me know i work for sutton and east surrey water. just thought id give you all some info on the hose pipe ban.
Basically a non comericial hose pipe ban comes into effect from april the 5th for an indefinate period of time. At the moment it only affects residential hosepipes but if for what ever reason we dont get enough rainfall over the next few months then it has the potential to become more serious and expand the restrictions. Things like washing the car, watering the flowers etc come under the ban and would result in a fine or more depending on what, how many times and the duration the hosepipe was used for.
Anything commericial is excempt at the moment from the ban ie window cleaners, automotive cleaners and builders etc. These have to be registered proper buisnesses.
Swimming pools are allowed to be refilled after anywork done.
Lawns that have been returfed are allowed to use hose pipes for one month after laying.
Thats the general rules really, if you guys are still awake i hope you find it helpfull and if youve got any questions feel free to ask
cheers Andy
