We could not confirm Affinity 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 Affinity Water Central region: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Surrey and parts of north and west London.
We are an unofficial tracker, so Affinity 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. Luton is billed by Affinity 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.
It depends on your exact address in Luton. We could not confirm a single verdict, so check your postcode.
Which water company supplies Luton?
Luton is supplied by Affinity 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.
