The UK is currently experiencing a heatwave… and wow, it’s hot! Whether you’re filling up your paddling pool or you’re trying to replenish your plants, using the best garden hoses is the best way to complete these tasks. But as the weather gets hotter and the need for cold fresh water gets greater, many water companies are being forced to issue a hosepipe ban.
A hosepipe ban is a temporary restriction from using a hosepipe or sprinkler system to water your plants, fill up paddling pools and wash your car or patio. These bans are put in place by water companies when there’s a shortage of water in a specific area of the country. Ignoring this ban could result in a written warning or a penalty of up to £2,000 depending on the water company’s terms and conditions.
