Essex & Suffolk Water introduced a temporary use ban on Monday, August 3, requiring customers to switch from hosepipes to watering cans and buckets for outdoor use. "Making this information available helps customers see how conditions are changing and the part we can all play in using water wisely." The water company releases a monthly infographic to keep customers informed about water supply conditions and encourage water-saving behaviours. Customers can view the latest infographic and find information on the temporary use ban by visiting the Essex & Suffolk Water website. The company also encourages customers to use its online water calculator to track household usage and identify potential savings.
