Temporary Water Usage Restrictions
The recent warm, dry weather means some water companies have introduced temporary water usage restrictions, including hosepipe bans, in parts of the UK.
The restrictions vary depending on your water supplier and location, so we've pulled together the latest information below to help you find the guidance that's relevant to you.
For most business customers, these restrictions won't have a direct impact, but it's still a great time for all of us to think about how we use water and avoid unnecessary waste where we can.
