There are no plans for a hosepipe ban across Merseyside amid the continuing dry weather.
As hot sunshine envelops the whole of the UK, water companies across the country have implemented curbs on things like hose pipe usage to manage resources. Kent and Sussex have had sprinkler bans imposed after demand reached “record levels” this month.
Breach of the measures including the use of hosepipes and sprinklers to water gardens, clean cars and fill swimming pools could lead to a £1,000 fine. United Utilities - which manages water for the North West - has clarified its position on bans across Liverpool and Merseyside.
