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. Norwich is billed by Anglian 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.

Whatever the status, a watering can, a bucket and collected rainwater are never restricted. See what you can still do and how the fine works.

Common questions

Common questions

Is there a hosepipe ban in Norwich?

It depends on your exact address in Norwich. We could not confirm a single verdict, so check your postcode.

Which water company supplies Norwich?

Norwich is supplied by Anglian 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.
