No more hosepipes for water companies

According to the announcement made by the four last water companies in South East Water, Sutton and East Surrey Water, Veolia Water Central and Veolia Water Southeast, they are going to lift the hosepipes because of the heavy rainfall this winter.

The introduction to the hosepipes came after the great drought of 1976, but now that the rainfall was strong, there is no need for their presence according to the companies.

The announcement said that: “The companies would all like to thank their customers for complying with the restrictions and supporting their plea to use water wisely. This has kept demand for water well below levels normally experienced at this time of year.

“Significant – or indeed any – recharge of underground resources at this time of year is most unusual but it follows the abnormally heavy rainfall experienced since spring which has finally brought to an end the severe drought after two dry winters.”
