South West Water have introduced a temporary hosepipe ban for Cornwall, Devon parts of Dorset and Somerset and the Isles of Scilly.
The ban will come into effect at 00:01am on Saturday 8th August to help protect water supplies during the current drought conditions.
Please help safeguard water supplies by following these restrictions immediately.
Customers must not use hosepipes for non-essential purposes while the ban is in place.
This includes using a hosepipe to:
water your garden
wash your car
fill a paddling pool, swimming pool or hot tub
clean your patio or driveway
clean walls and windows
Water can still be used as normal for;
drinking
washing
and cooking
You can still carry out many of your usual activities without a hosepipe, for example by using a watering can to water plants or using a bucket and sponge to wash your car.
