Hosepipe ban starts in west Wales for 33,000 properties

Water firms in England and Wales ‘leak five times what hosepipe ban would save’

(In reality I suspect the hosepipe ban was specifically chosen for the primary reason the Irish government chooses to do anything - blindly copying Whatever Britain is Doing, the more unpopular and unsuccessful the policy the better)

🌱 #flowersonFriday from Wisley’s Exotic garden. They all seem to be enjoying the heat much more than I am. My garden hose is now packed away because we have a hosepipe ban in my area so I will be trying to keep the plants in my tiny garden alive using a watering can. Wish me luck!

Fewer than 10% of people claiming benefits are exempt from the hosepipe ban. But you wouldn’t know that from these headlines 👇 Will the media accept any responsibility if and when people on benefits ignore the ban in good faith and subsequently face fines from the water companies?🤷‍♀️

Criminally prosecute the directors of water companies and nationalise the whole lot People have had enough of water companies looking after shareholders at the expense of consumers www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Of course now we ARE getting a hosepipe ban, people who can't add 2 and 2 are saying they're going to ignore it. Slow handclap folks. "You can't tell me what to do!"

Hi everyone - some info from Dublin City Council on the impact of the current hosepipe ban on street cleaning. #Dublin #SpeirGorm blog.karlstanley.ie/street-clean...

Hosepipe ban? Fuck you, I’ll do whichever nautical dances I choo- Oh. Hang on. I think I may have made a terrible mistake.

The propaganda is all over the Billionaire owned Media! ‘Hosepipe ban in force for millions of households - BBC News 1 July 2025 - heatwaves have left water supplies under strain in parts of the UK.’ BOYCOTT AI! It’s pure greed for these absolute losers who think they will live in INCEL Bunkers!!

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Southern Water also managed to discharge sewage into the sea at Hythe despite weeks of dry weather. The bastards are not fit for purpose.

Parts of Wales are heading for a Hosepipe Ban this weekend, with several English water companies already imposing restrictions. What do these Temporary Usage Bans actually cover, as research reveals public attitudes towards them.

I just hope Peter O'Mahony and his garden are coping during this hosepipe ban 🩷🩷

BBC News - Hosepipe ban to come into force for 33,000 properties in Wales www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Water companies leaking x5 the water a national hosepipe ban could save. @greenpeaceuk.bsky.socialsay 2.87bn litres of water a day seeps from leaky pipes in England and Wales. Oftwat, the failed regulator, say a hosepipe ban would save 577m litres a day www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Interesting, this is after a past week of outages due to BURST PIPES, but is framed by increased customer usage🤬🤬 They take us for fools🤬🤬🤬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
