South East Water: Kent and Sussex customers suffer hosepipe and sprinkler ban

For its customers in Kent and Sussex, South East Water has placed a ban on the use of sprinklers and hosepipes.

The prohibition will begin on August 12 and end on a date that is yet to be determined.

It comes shortly after Southern Water restricted the use of hosepipes for customers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for the first time this year. That prohibition will begin on Friday.
