This measure comes in response to record-breaking hot weather and sustained high water demand. The restrictions will take effect at 00:01 BST on Thursday, July 23. Under the ban, customers in the designated areas are prohibited from using hosepipes for non-essential activities such as watering gardens, washing cars, filling paddling pools, or topping up hot tubs.
