What are the present laws on hosepipe bans ?
Why are the public being kept in the dark on this issue ?
I am slightly disabled and use a water but pump, am I then forbidden to use it and then have to let the water go down the drain before it becomes foul ?

You can use a hosepipe for the cleaning of animals. The ban is only for watering gardens and cleaning cars for private individuals.

Hello,
quick question if I may, I live in Oldham and one of the local cotton mills is currently undergoing demolition to make way for a chartered academy school, the brick dust has been and is still a nightmare, this has been ongoing now constantly for the last two months, I have paved areas to thr front and decked paved areas to the rear of my proprty, including a large koi pond, my question is would it be permissible to jet wash in an attempt to try to keep my property clean?
Kindest Regards
John

I live in Barningham, Suffolk and my neighbour uses her hose every morning and evening soaking her grass and plants! Surely this cannot be right????? We haven’t had rain in our area for weeks so i cannot see how she can get away with using it.

i sell bedding plants within my business (upto around 200 at a time). can i keep using my hose pipe to water them because using a watering can is very time consuming with the rest of a shop to keep running?

I believe that the problem we have in North West England regarding water supplies could be resolved by allowing more competition into the market. Useless, sorry, United Utilities are not the most efficient organization I have come across. The authorities need to allow other companies to enter local markets because, as we know, nothing aids efficiency more than competition for customers.

Hello.

We are about to have a hosepipe ban in my area (I live very close to a reservoir & can see why!) I was just wondering about childrens paddling pools? Are we allowed them, I read somewhere that it’s ok to use a hose in a paddling pool, but wanted to check it out before I did so.

Many thanks.

Lorraine
