Despite the UK experiencing its driest July since 1935, there is currently no hosepipe ban in place for Scotland. So far, temporary restrictions have been limited to parts of southern England.
Residents in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will have to abide by the ban from August 5 while Kent and Sussex households will join them on August 12. It is anticipated that parts of London, the Thames Valley and Yorkshire could be next to follow suit if the lack of rainfall persists.
However, any potential ban for Scottish residents doesn’t appear imminent. Should the situation change, you can use this postcode checker to find your water provider and contact them to find out if a ban is in place.
