It depends on your exact address in Crawley. We could not confirm a single verdict, so check your postcode.
Crawley and the Redhill area are supplied by South East Water and fall inside its 2026 ban, on the greensand and Weald sources of the Sussex-Surrey border.
We could not confirm South East 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 entire South East Water supply area, under two separate legal notices. Kent has been in force since 00:01 on Friday 3 July 2026. Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire come into force at 00:01 on Saturday 25 July 2026.
We are an unofficial tracker, so South East 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. Crawley is billed by South East 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 Crawley?
Crawley is supplied by South East 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.
