Yay!!! The hosepipe ban is being lifted!

[Chicken Runner61]

Perhaps it will stop raining now

 

[catfish]

There must be a heatwave on the way.

 

[happypig]

I suppose they had to end it, what with half of west sussex submerged.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It stays in place out our way, here in East Sussex - we're in the South East Water area, not Southern Water.

Hosepipe bans to be lifted | Environment | guardian.co.uk

South East Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water, Veolia Water Central and Veolia Water Southeast confirmed last week that their hosepipe bans would remain in place. The companies say their supplies are heavily dependent on ground water resources, which remain significantly or even severely depleted.

Groundwater levels are still below normal, with some areas needing 140% of long-term rainfall this winter to recover fully and rising demands on water resources are still also putting increasing strain on the UK's water supply.

Really? Here in Brighton it's Southern Water!

Recently SE Water said that ban would stay in place probably until the Autumn irrespective of how much rain we get between now and then

[Falkor]

[wellquickwoody]

Jetwash on my filthy patio this weekend!

 

[Ned]

I,m in Newhaven & get a bill from both Southern & South East so how do I stand (or am I being mugged by one of these two)?

I'm in New Romney and am covered by Veolia Water Southeast.

 

[Shirty]

Thank f*** for that, the garden really needs watering.

 

[Giraffe]

Not before time, my grass is like the sahara. Will be glad of a sprinkle.

There's a map on Southern Water's website showing the different areas. Large parts of Sussex get their water from South East but their Sewerage from Southern.

There's a detailed map of the South East Water area here:

South East Water - Your home - Moving home

It includes nearly the whole of East Sussex, except Lewes town, Brighton, Hastings and Rye. Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill are also in the South East Water area.

Day one of it today by the looks of it. Wonder if we'll get to day two

Newhaven is in the South East Water area. Your hosepipe ban stays!

The same as Haywards Heath the fresh water is supplied by SE Water hence their bill and the sewage is disposed of by S Water which is based on a percentage of the water SE supply. so I was told. by both companies. Hence their bill. Not sure about your area coud be the other way around but that is what HH is.
