Northumbrian Water is not planning on introducing a hosepipe ban in the North East of England despite a drought being declared in other parts of the country.
At least five water companies around England and Wales have revealed plans for a hosepipe ban. They include Yorkshire Water in the North of England.
Despite high demand, below-average rainfalls, and low water levels at Northumbrian Water's reservoirs which include Kielder Water in Northumberland and Derwent Reservoir in County Durham, no restrictions on water use are expected in the parts of Tyne and Wear, Teesside, Northumberland and County Durham that Northumbrian Water supplies.
