Water levels in many areas and resevoirs have depleted probably because  of wfp.
When you think, unless your,re harvesting, a third probably goes down th drain!

Whatever goes down the drain is recycled, so it's not wasted at all.

a hose pipe ban usually only affects domestic propertys,  it has to be really bad to affect business

I was told today by a custy that farmers around here in the south east cannot take any more water for irrigating the fields .
Any one tried using well water know of a custy with a well just not too sure how contaminated it might be as its next to a grave yard

Why, you are using it for commercial reasons. You can use it but your customer couldn't.

Now expect the w/cs to come on and say their not a high user, their main business is traditional.
 :(

because of wfp hhmmmmm! ;D

i think you will find its because of the dry spell weve had and
the water authorities are rubbish at retaining water.

saying that no hosepipe ban round here and we are expecting
heavy rain tonight ;)

There was a man from the water board on the TV this morning, he was from "Knotty Ash" of Ken Dodd fame (for the older members!!) he told the reporter that they were meeting the leakage rates of 465 mega litres of water lost per day through damaged pipes etc and they repaired 350 leaks a week!!!

Astonishing figures.

especially when a mega litre is a million litres (I think!?) So thats 465 million litres wasted per day, thats what I call efficiant :o

The argument about that companies i.e garden centers and coca-cola use thousands of liters of water is these companies pay business rates,

now how many of you water fed user have told your water company that your are using your homes for purifying water  :-\ If you did tell your water company that you were using it for commercial use then you get hit big time.

So that means any use of a hose would be fround apon, so if you want use that argument that your using it for business then tell the water company and see what bills come in then.
