Maybe the cunts at Yorkshire water should use our money to fix all the leaks rather than paying out bonuses and dividends, then we wouldn’t need a hosepipe ban
A reminder that prosecutions for breaching a hosepipe ban are exceedingly rare to the point they essentially never happen.
Given water companies and their blatant disregard for their customers, the infrastructure and the environment, I wouldn’t place much importance on their supposed ‘ban’.
I’ve got an allotment in Leeds and this year had been pretty rough in terms of watering, I think I can count on one hand the days of decent rain we’ve had since April. Was on the canal yesterday and it’s about at the lowest I’ve seen it. Genuinely would love a week of solid rainfall please.
Reminder that no one has ever been fined for breaching a hosepipe ban.
If only they had collected more of the rain we had over winter.
I think it had to happen soon because of the lack of rain and very hot weather. I think we need to build more reservoirs.
baffles me that we live in one of the wettest countries, We are an island where the furthest distance from the sea you can be at any one time is 70 miles..
Yet we have water shortages..
All through the hot weather, our local res’s were full.. then suddenly once the hot weather ended. They dropped to less than half full. Almost as if they had been emptied (sold?) in preparation for the wet weather that came.. but that didn’t fill up as much as expected.
Maybe invest some of those profits in the infrastructure instead of lining their own pockets. Our water industry is a shambles.
They can absolutely get fucked, I’m gonna drain and re-fill my pool and hot tub right now. I might even water the grass.
I don’t have a pool or hot tub but if you do, get cracking! I do have grass.
Said this elsewhere. There’s a ban on using a hosepipe to fill a pool but they said you can use a bucket for the same task.
Still the same volume of water, just an extra bit of grunt work involved.
Maybe if they had spent less on bonus payments and more on infrastructure investment it would not be needed.
They haven’t built a single new reservoir since privatisation. It’s disgusting behaviour
Its been raining on the Yorkshire coast fairly regularly since January….. Yorkshire is big…. also they keep on flush out waste when it rains into the sea….
Who even uses hosepipes? I can’t remember the last time I saw somebody out with one.
Yorkshire Water is losing over 3000 litres of water, per second, due to unfixed leaks.
But its washing your car thats the problem.
