It depends on your exact address in Cambridge. We could not confirm a single verdict, so check your postcode.
Cambridge is supplied by the separate Cambridge Water, entirely from chalk boreholes in one of England's driest regions, which is the pressure behind its restriction.
We could not confirm Cambridge Water’s current status from their own page, so we are not asserting a restriction. Check with your supplier before using a hosepipe.
Check with your supplier
Areas covered: The Cambridge Water supply area: Cambridgeshire with parts of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, about 350,000 households.
We are an unofficial tracker, so Cambridge Water’s own notice is the version that legally applies to you.
What this means at your address
A hosepipe ban is set by your water company, not your council, and most bans cover only part of a company’s area. Cambridge is billed by Cambridge Water, so its rules are the ones that apply here, but the boundary can run through a town: your postcode is the only certain answer.

Which water company supplies Cambridge?
Cambridge is supplied by Cambridge Water. Your water bill confirms your supplier, and a ban is set per company, not per town, so the boundary can run through a town.
What is the fine for breaking a hosepipe ban?
Up to 1,000 pounds, imposed by a magistrates' court on conviction, not a fixed penalty set by the water company. In practice enforcement starts with a warning.
