BUT, how pathetic are these rules, A normal resident is banned from using a hosepipe to clean his car or water his plants.
But you can go down the road and see Car Washers wasting thousands of gallons of water washing cars and allowing it to go down the drain.
And it states on the websites that you can wash a car using a bucket, IF not filled up by a hosepipe.
IF there is a hose pipe ban, then it should apply to everyone.

They pay
a lot more for the water than
normal users IIRC

However by stopping hosing they really dont do much preventation of the issue if many dont use them anyway. Although it only takes one its lot water consumption.
- Shower - 35 litres
- Bath - 80 litres
- Brushing teeth (tap on) - 6 litres/min
- Brushing teeth (tap off) - 1 litre
- Toilet - 7-9 litres
- Washing machine - 65 litres
- Dishwasher - 20 litres
- Washing car with bucket- 10 litres
- Hosepipe/sprinkler - 540 litres/hour
It maybe needs businesses reclye water bit more but it then needs filterisation process nobody turn up for dirty water car clean.
There article in beeb our only options one was huge migration from south east to more afluent water areas. Arthur do fancy living lake district or scotland. Get all the water you can drink and use 
Cant see government doing this there baby is the south east. |
Maybe if the water companies didn't loose millions of gallons due to leaky pipes no one would need torecycle and of course the South East's their baby it provides most of the cash for their vanity projects.
