Hosepipe bans have been announced for different parts of the country - and Severn Trent Water has not denied a move is being considered for the East Midlands. As reported by Derbyshire Live, a leaked internal Environmental Agency document has shown that Severn Trent Water may be considering introducing a ban.
The ban would mean households cannot use a hosepipe to clean cars or water gardens. This would mean that ponds and swimming pools would not be allowed to be filled.
When Derbyshire Live put the Daily Mail's claims to Severn Trent Water, they received a response that neither confirmed nor denied that a hosepipe ban was on the cards. Instead, a spokesperson said the company was asking people to be "mindful of their water use".
