We've had a hosepipe ban in Sutton since the start of this month
I wanted to get my enormous paddling pool out this summer, but won't be able to fill it now. I've heard that my water authority are going to apply for an emergency drought order (or something similar) that will stop all sorts of water usage, presumably including commercial carwashes and also the use of buckets for washing cars/bikes, and they have plans for standpipes
I saw in the Metro that the fine for using a hosepipe was £1,000
I don't think I'll risk it
