Does anyone work in the rain?

This has come up in the past and doesn't it not apply for people who use water for their business?Not sure though.

This should help southerners.

What do you think
Guy from environment agency on the radio earlier this week said hosepipe bans were extremely unlikely this summer, so stop worrying yourself (and people who read your thread title) and get on with it.

as soon as they mention a hosepipe ban, it rains all summer anyway

NO.

i doubt they could stop wfpers, we need water to make a living! i would think we will be exempt

how many wfp people out per day how on earth would they stop it 8)

Isn't there a difference between hosepipe ban and drought order?
I was led to believe that a hosepipe ban only includes domestic use ie: car washing lawn watering etc and doesn't affect businesses and Industry?
A drought order is different and has to be sanctioned by the government and not the water companies and local council and this is rarely enforced dont think it's been necessary for one of these for a very long time

spot on simon ;)
-
Besides all that, I think a hosepipe ban is a ban on hoses connected to a mains tap. I've got a static system so I don't have a hose connected to a mains tap. It's connected to my van tank.
Or am I missing something?

thanks simon

that is correct.we are classed as businesses and bans only apply to personal household usage eg.watering grass,cleaning cars.
-
Yes your right we are business's but if we want to be exempt from the hosepipe ban we should be man enough to tell our water companies that every day we pour 1'000's of gallons of water down the drain. In other words inform them that your business depends on water etc.
Better to register with them from the start than get some jealous neighbour to do it for you.

going from recent years summer is nearly over then it will be rain rain flash flooding etc etc :'(

Just about right. Four or five water companies did get a drought order granted about five years ago so that they could enforce it if necessary. Only one enforced it - and then only partially. Sutton & East Surrey banned the use of car washes that didn't have a water recycling unit fitted. As far as I know that was as far as it went. At one drought order hearing that I went to, it started raining while we were in there. It was worth going if only to watch Craig Mawlam ripping the pi55 out of the water company management. He has a knack of doing it in such a way that it is comical.

As I am aware, DEFRA issues the drought orders.
Drought orders have replaced hosepipe bans, yet the media still calls them hosepipe bans.
ALL WFPers are exempt from the ban/order as the ruling states you cannot fill a recepticle with "tap water", WFPers don't fill receptcles with tap water as we filter this before it reaches the recepticle.
so in short, if you use DI or RO water you ARE exempt. here endeth the lesson.
;D ;D ;D ;D

what is a water shortage ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D move north we have loads ;D ;D ;D

It'll never be enforced,just check out all the cowboy wheelie bin cleaners running round, they get through way more water than any wfp'er set up.

Its illegal to clean bins in the road and they are supposed to capture all the water and recycle it. There are people who make trucks that comply with the regulations.
Round here the bin cleaners have all but gone, its hard to clean three different bins all emptied at different times and having three bins cleaned works out a bit pricey for the customer.

Yes thats it. Some of the stuff about disposal of effluent applies to carpet cleaning machines as well. The collected water is classed as trade effluent and requires proper disposal.
