Thames Water is set to announce a temporary hosepipe ban "in the coming weeks" due to the long-term forecast of dry weather.
The timing was not confirmed "due to a number of operational and legal procedural requirements", the water provider said, adding that customers would be updated at the earliest time possible.
A statement issued by Thames Water this afternoon said the company had been preparing for the summer since winter, filling their reservoirs in London and providing water saving tips.
