We are on a ban in Yorkshire’s but have to pay the same as allways

But just seen Yorkshire supply water to darbyshire and north Lincolnshire
And there are not on a hose pipe ban

We are in NE Derbyshire and not on a ban because we are supplied by Severn Trent Water,
areas in Derbyshire supplied by Yorkshire water are on a ban.

I believe that commercial use hasn't been affected? If so, car wash companies are still in operation.

Someone the wife knows has a blue badge and he got a letter to say he can use a hoes pipe as he is a invalid

Let your grass go brown, it'll be fine. I've never once watered grass, what an utterly useless waste of time. Strawberries get water from the water butt from the shed roof and that's it. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Clive Lewis, MP said in the commons recently, that in the 35 years prior to privatisation nearly 100 reservoirs were built, in the 35 years subsequently no major ones have been built but 25 have been sold off.
