We’ve all been enjoying the great weather recently, but a lack of rain and increased demand for water means reservoir levels are now lower than usual for this time of year.
As a result, a hosepipe ban will be introduced by United Utilities across most of the North West on 5th August 2018.
Please visit https://www.unitedutilities.com/hosepipeban to see if you are in an impacted area and for full details about what this means for your business.
Keys information
- United Utilities have announced a planned hosepipe ban for the North West. This will be in place from 8 am on 5th August 2018.
- Hosepipe bans primarily target domestic customers but also place restrictions on some non-essential use by business customers.
- A ban would mean that domestic customers must not use hosepipes connected to the mains water supply to water gardens, wash cars, fill a domestic swimming pool and similar uses.
Keys information for business customers
- Activities that are directly related to the commercial activities of the business will largely be unaffected.
- The ban prohibits the certain non-essential business use, for example, the use of hosepipes or sprinklers for watering on-site gardens and washing private motor vehicles.
- For more information about which activities are or are not impacted by the ban, please visit FAQs for business customers
