Hosepipe Ban - Kent & Sussex
WOW! A hosepipe ban has just been announced for Kent and Sussex. I can never recall a hosepipe ban so early in the summer, but then we have just had net migration of 1 million people in just the last 2 years. I worked it out that based on 150 litres average daily use per person (OFWAT) that is a yearly increase in demand equivalent to the UK's 9th largest reservoir. Do you think the water companies have built such a reservoir in the last 24 months? Of course not, so it just means the reservoirs we do have will be emptying faster. Strangely, no-one even considers this huge impact, people might mention traffic, GP waiting times, school class sizes etc, but not water.
So, if you want to water your garden order a water butt here!
New colours for water butts
As well as green, the 168 litres and 227 litres water butts can now be ordered in grey plastic. The 100 litres barrels can now be ordered in green or black.
