well i’m sure our reservoirs must be almost full by now as the rainfall over the past week has been not stop and apparently, more rain on it’s way! I’ve also just heard on the local news of floods in places like Bolton and local lakes are that full that their about to overflow onto footpaths! So when will our hose pipe ban be lifed?

I thought this only affected United Utilities customers? Some of the area concerned includes those where many customers are those of Severn Trent.

How does someone reporting me watering my garden know if I am a naughty UU customer or an in-the-clear ST punter?

The hosepipe ban in the North West is the result of the water companies in this area refusing to invest in proper water storage facilities for the area, instead relying on our traditionally heavy rainfall. The Government should force the building of new reservoirs to prevent this happening again.

Paul you would see a reduction in your water bill if you don’t use so much water and are on a meter. if you’re not on a meter then get on one. if you don’t want to get on a meter because you pay less than you use then stop moaning.
