Hosepipe ban
Yorkshire Water region
Due to a very dry spring and low reservoir levels, Yorkshire Water are implementing a Temporary Usage Ban (TUB), also known as a hosepipe ban - effective from Friday, 11 July.
While these restrictions mainly apply to household water use, if you’re a business customer in the Yorkshire Water region this ban may impact you depending on the type of business you have, for example washing private hire vehicles or watering communal gardens and non-playing areas of sports grounds.
Business water usage accounts for nearly a third of all water usage in England, and businesses are being asked to reduce consumption wherever possible to help manage the situation and avoid further restrictions.
