UK Temporary Use Bans (Hosepipe Bans) & Statutory Exemptions
When regional reservoir or groundwater reserves drop below trigger levels, statutory water companies in England & Wales issue Temporary Use Bans (TUBs) under Section 76 of the Water Industry Act 1991. Breaching a TUB risks fines up to £1,000, yet essential exemptions remain protected:
- Watering new turf/gardens strictly via watering can (not attached hoses).
- Commercial horticulture, NHS/hygiene needs, and Priority Services or Blue Badge mobility assistance.
- Drip-feed micro-irrigation fitted with pressure regulators & timers (varies by company order).
