It depends on your exact address in Newport. We could not confirm a single verdict, so check your postcode.
Newport sits in Welsh Water's south-east Wales region, outside the west Wales area its restriction applies to. Its supply draws on the River Usk catchment rather than the west Wales reservoirs under pressure.
We could not confirm Welsh 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: A single supply zone in west Wales, about 33,000 properties: mid and south Ceredigion with parts of north Pembrokeshire and north Carmarthenshire. This is NOT a Wales-wide ban.
We are an unofficial tracker, so Welsh 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. Newport is billed by Welsh 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 Newport?
Newport is supplied by Welsh 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.
