South East Water has lifted its Temporary Use ban.
The hosepipe ban was implemented for customers in Kent and Sussex following June’s heatwave. South East Water said it was left with no choice after the hot weather resulted in record-breaking water use, “where the company needed to supply an additional 138Ml of water a day – the equivalent of supplying four towns the size of Maidstone or Eastbourne”.
A cooler and wetter summer, the company said, has since depressed demand and enabled it to lift the ban with immediate effect.
