Can't be far off given how little rain we have had. Am watering the garden like crazy at the moment. Will have to switch to buckets if this comes into effect.

On that topic, what happens to all the car washes? Do they shut down? Don't think there were as many last time we had a ban.

Until you get that one neighbour who snitches on you.

Quite impressive figures. The hose can stay on then

It would seem I accidentally left the hose on last night. That'll help the water bill along!

We managed to buy a house that had no water or electricity meter installed and was off the known grid (except for gas). My wife figured it would be in our interest to be honest and have them installed. Fool.

No ban here yet, but only a matter of time unless we get some decent rainfall.

hopefully, had about 3 hours of rain total since April where I am

Same and none of it has been heavy. Can’t be long until they start considering a dry winter and the impact on water levels.

Can’t be far off. Makes no difference, I’ll do it with buckets
