Hosepipe ban.

Not needed this wik, is it.

Well actually, you could say that given we have way too much water coming down, using an hosepipe would actually exacerbate the saturation of the ground causing more problems. FNAR.

Loads of rain rarely sees reservoirs and hydropools topped up sufficiently, needs to be constant sort of ligther rain for that... Or the water companies are spouting bollox to up bills... take your pick¬!

"The most recent hosepipe ban to be lifted in the UK ended on 5 February 2026, when South East Water removed its Temporary Use Ban across Kent and Sussex."

That was the last one - get the bunting out.
