Bristol Water has promised there will be no hosepipe bans or other water restrictions in the city despite the current heatwave. Yesterday, Bristol recorded its highest ever temperature of 35.3C, with highs of 33C expected today as the Met Office's amber health warning remains in place.
But Bristol Water, which supplies about 500,000 homes and businesses in the city and surrounding area, has said it will not be limiting supply to water. Often during hot weather, higher demand for water creates supply problems for companies, and there have been warnings in Bristol there could be lower pressure levels because of the heatwave.
But in a post on their website, Bristol Water said: "Thanks to extensive data modelling & projections, our forecasts indicate that we will not need to impose hosepipe bans or any other restrictions in 2022.
