Record Water Use Amid Heatwave | Leicester News

Published 2 days, 7 hours ago
Description

Severn Trent hit a record-breaking water usage high last Saturday, using nearly 2.4 billion litres — enough to fill 700 million pints — as a relentless heatwave pushes demand to unprecedented levels. With temperatures expected to stay scorching, other water companies are already reinstating decades-old restrictions. Severn Trent is working overtime to treat, move, and fix water systems, but they’re asking everyone to help — make small changes like using watering cans, letting lawns go wild, reusing kiddie pool water, and only running appliances when full. Your mindful habits could prevent a hosepipe ban and keep taps flowing through the heat.
