North West Water Watch: Drought on Edge | Manchester News
Description
England’s drought hits hard in East Anglia, the Midlands, and the south coast, forcing nine water suppliers into hosepipe bans—but Greater Manchester and the North West are holding steady for now. While reservoirs sit at 60.2% capacity (down 11% from average), United Utilities says no restrictions are planned yet, despite record demand during the heatwave—supplying over two billion liters daily. They’re battling leaks and urging conservation even without a ban. Rain is forecast, but the Met Office warns scattered showers may not soak the parched ground enough to reverse the dry spell.
