Hosepipe bans

Cant believe some water companies are due to bring in hosepipe bans and at the same time they are putting up their prices ?

Down here we are paying some of the highest prices anywhere in the country and now have to pay more.

The annoying thing for me is walking past the car dealerships even when its raining and seeing people washing the whole of their sales cars ? Why not wait til the car is sold then give it a good wash, They dont need washing every other day do they ? confused xx

If you can't get a meter fitted, there is an appeal you can make to reduce your bill. Go onto your water supplier website or give them a ring...

mine is £18 a month, though I am single and do the water saving bits.

Maybe you don't have a lot of water your way.

The dealer won't be able to wash his cars with a hose if there is a hoes pipe ban.

It all stinks of bad management by the water companies to me. What percentage is lost still to leakage I wonder.

I have heard off a good source and am willing to supply deets if pm'd that water by law cannot be witheld supply should you choose not to pay for the companies to treat it with many toxic metals and excessive dangerous fluoride.

A friend has done it for years, he turned it around on them by threatening to charge his local supplier for having their property within his house.

Sounds barmy but he got away with it and continues to. Funnily enough he also has his own electric meter and has opted out contracting into his local supplier. It's a biggie and having knowledge of freeman law is beneficial.

A waterbutt could possibly be the answer to the water shortage.

Watch the price of them rise now there's a hosepipe ban

Water will be a currency in a few years time.

hosepipe ban is madness when the new Morrisons near me has got water mist spraying over all the veggies to keep them fresh! i know it won't use a lot but why doesn't it apply to them?

Your friend could at least tell you how they does it, so you too can benefit from it

I don't fancy walking back from the well with a jerrycan balanced on my head.

Best thing we ever did was get a meter fitted, at the moment we only pay £11.00 month on a standing order, was recently reduced from £15 as we had built up a load of credit. Mind you we are one of those that will get a ban and really don't know how we will water our 4 acres of wiilderness

What I don't understand is if we are going through global warming the ice caps are melting over all there is more water, more flooding etc.. so why do the water companies seem to think there is suddenly not enough water to run down your hose pipe to wash your motorbike or car..

not being funny but what's the difference between be using my outside tap to fill a bucket and using a hosepipe.. apart from the fact that I will probably use more buckets worth of water than I would if I was using a hose pipe to clean my bike...

What i don't get is when we do have all this snow/rain every year that they don't have some way of collecting it.

Also we have the technology to turn sea water into clean drinking water, its not like we are going to run out anytime soon.

Esp with all this global warming and sea level rising. Yeah might cost millions to set up but which is best this or towns being flooded due to rising sea levels.

The subject is quite complex and you can't use simple thoughts, though it would be great if they worked.

How many lakes or reservoirs are you happy to pay for?

How much will a Desalination plant cost (Sea water to drinking water).

Building a water network from wet areas to dry areas has recently been ruled out (but not dead).

How about putting pressure on people/businesses to use less.

maybe move them to wetter areas along with the jobs.

Some thing different has to be done, as what were doing now is not working

If if was that easy, we would all be doing it. Yes the water companies may not be able to cut off your water supply but money owed to them is still there.

Try again

Was thinking the same thing Pearl.

So what happens to the car wash business you see in most towns these days - are they allowed to still wash cars?

Seems a bit of a joke to me.
