A hosepipe ban for Thames Water customers will start on 24 August due to “unprecedented weather conditions”.
Although the ban officially starts next week, Thames Water urged customers to act as soon as possible to save water.
In a statement, they said: “We’ve been working around the clock to supply everyone, and customers have been brilliant at saving water where they can.
“But, with low rainfall forecast for the coming months, we now need to take the next step in our drought plan.”
