Default Hosepipe bans come off tomorrow

On January 18, most of the water companies in the south east will
announce that they are lifting their hosepipe bans. Thames Water,
Southern Water, Three Valleys and Sutton & East Surrey Water will all
lift their hosepipe restrictions in response to the above average
winter rainfall. They join Folkestone & Dover water company which
lifted its ban on October 2.

Gardeners should therefore enjoy a trouble-free watering season since
it must be considered unlikely that the water companies will do an
about-turn once the weather warms up.



Shouldn't we all be considering 'rainwater harvesting' these days?
ie. collecting water for free off a house/shed/greenhouse roof.
