At long last my well pump has been replaced, so I am now happily
sprinkling the lawns which are starting to look rather brown
again.
My question is, how long should the sprinklers be left in one
spot?

If you're in the North West they're about to call a hosepipe ban!
Eek!


Ah, but does that ban using the hose for water pumped from my own well?

You are allowed to use 20 cu.m per day for domestic use only. If you use
more than this you must (in theory) apply for a licence.
Also in theory if you sell, say runner beans at your gate that have been
watered with your extracted water then this is commercial and requires a
licence.

The water does not belong to the water authority.
