Hosepipe Ban

joking aside they're already considering transporting water from the North down South (it's already in the pipeline). However it would be too expensive to consider any great distance. I'm sure they mentioned Scottish water being sent to West Yorkshire?? can't be sure.

[-]Southern puRAB[/-] Southerners will just have to water their window boxes with Champagne instead won't they.
 
For the last three years I've contacted Anglian water to go on a meter and I still haven't been contacted back. I pay over £800 for my water/sewage. If it does get a ban here I won't be taking any notice of it unless I could claim a refund. I find it odd that the amount of homes in my area has trebled, huge houses with big gardens bought and whole estates going up in there place, four high blocks of flats where bungalows used to be etc. The amount of money they get from here must have gone through the roof over the last twenty years. Usage must have increased beyond what it was, yet improvements seem non existent for the increased demand. There is still countless burst pipes left gushing for hours, two in the last two weeks.

I'd agree if they hadn't just kept hiking up prices and telling us what they had done when there's no sign of it.
 
Water Companies/Government should have invested in De-Salination plants a long time ago.

At least with Scottish water, you can actually drink it from the tap, some water I've tasted down South is disgusting.
 
I passed three large reservoirs this morning, all full to the brim, looking beautiful in the warm spring sunshine. The water table is high with several springs in the forest close to my house happily bubbling away. What's all the fuss about?
 
The fuss is in some areas they've built new estates everywhere so more water consumption. And water companies sold reservoir land, and they let huge amounts of water go to waste because the pipes aren't fixed.
