Hosepipe ban - oilrag

What are your local reservoirs like?

I can still remember the hundreds of tankers emptying into the reservoir on the M62 - a decade plus ago.

I think we have water piped down to our part of Yorkshire from Northumberland now - also limescale in taps, that we never had before with our soft, brown peat water off the Pennine moors.

Tough though to be in the North West if you`re a keen gardener.

What`s it like down South?

Hosepipe ban - billy25

we in Cumbria (who were flooded not long ago) now have a hosepipe ban, whilst all our luvly soft water from Thirlemere is being piped down to Manchester who haven`t (as far as i`m aware) got a ban.

Anyway, whats the difference between a hosepipe and a metal pipe apart from the material? if its ok to ship water via a metal pipe to the Manc`s then i can use a metal pipe to water my allottment of rare orchids.
