A water supply company is asking customers to use water wisely as warmer weather is set to arrive. The UK Health Security Agency has advised that UK temperatures could hit 30 degrees this weekend, with the Met Office predicting 29C for Nottingham on Saturday, June 10.
As the temperatures rise, Severn Trent is reminding households to be mindful of their water use. Sophie Evans-Young, Customer Demand Lead at Severn Trent said: “We tend to think about Britain as a country that gets more than its share of rain, but water is a precious resource and with temperatures expected to climb in the coming days, we want to remind customers to use water wisely.
“It’s natural when the weather gets warmer to get paddling pools out and using sprinklers, hosepipes and pressure washers to keep gardens and cars looking lovely. However, it’s water-intensive activities such as these that can cause a sudden spike in demand.” Whilst the Midlands has had some wet weather throughout April and May, February was the driest since 1993.
