Nearly time to put the hosepipes away as water restriction comes into force this week

Britain’s biggest water supplier said its restriction will come into effect from Thursday, April 5, before the Easter bank holiday weekend, and will apply to all of its 8.8 million customers across the Thames Valley and London.
Plans to go ahead with the ban are still in place after temperatures in West Berkshire soared last week.
It was announced in February that West Berkshire was officially in a drought, at which point Thames Water warned that a hosepipe ban was inevitable.
Thames Water is one of seven companies in south England set to impose a hosepipe ban.
