Episode Details

South West Water is imposing a hosepipe ban starting this Saturday across Devon, Cornwall, parts of Dorset and Somerset, and the Isles of Scilly due to record-low rainfall, prolonged dry weather, and soaring water demand — all as a heatwave threatens to push temperatures to 36°C. The company warns rivers and reservoirs are under severe strain, urging immediate water conservation even before the ban kicks in, with exemptions for Priority Services Register users, Blue Badge holders, and WaterSure customers. With drought declared over half of England and July being the driest in 190 years, officials stress that every drop counts — and they’ll keep you updated as conditions evolve.
