Hosepipe Ban
26 Answers
Just found out that over 65s and those with a Blue Badge are exempt from the hosepipe ban for gardening if they come under South East Water. I checked under Anglian Water who are showing that those with a Blue Badge or severe mobility problems are exempt, but it doesn't mention age. It is worth checking the website for your local water authority!

Glad I may have helped your friend gness. She ought to check with her own water authority though, because it is not a law - it is at the discretion of the individual authorities.

I doubt whether they will make it public. My neighbour informed me and I found out only be looking on the Anglian Water website. I have used a hose today. The ban doesn't start until 5th April, but now I shall be able to keep using it. Wine in the garden sounds nice. I have been out there most of the day and we sat outside eating lunch. What a tonic x
Unfortunately, we are not under a water ban yet down here in the deepest SW. I went to get some petrol for the lawnmower and thought how dusty the roads and fields looked, then the ground in the garden is still very wet. Probably just as well as the blasted machine would not ignite......I must go and try again.
