Supplier statuses last checked .

We’re re-checking Welsh Water. Its last confirmed status is still shown here, because hiding a restriction we cannot currently re-read is the more expensive mistake, last confirmed 29 days ago.

A hosepipe ban is set by your water company, not your council, and most bans cover only part of a company’s area, so a city can be banned while the next one along is not. These are straight answers for 48towns and cities, each from its supplier’s own status.
