South East Water have announced that their hosepipe and sprinkler ban will be lifted from tomorrow (Wednesday 7th of February). The company stated that 4 months of above average rainfall has “significantly improved key underground sources” which account for three quarters of all their supplies.
However they do urge caution based on weather predictions. They say that although the Met Office is predicting heavy rainfall for the rest of the winter, 2007 could be the warmest year yet – even hotter than 2006.
