As far as I am aware a hosepipe ban does not affect business's that rely on water to continue their operation, its just for general public....correct me if I'm wrong....

years back was told haveing clean windows in a drought was not necessary

But "we" collected all our water off of the roof during winter didn't we?

"We" drive to Wales to get our water on the weekend don't we?

So long as you dont use hose pipe to connect from the mains you are ok.  Push fit, or fixed pipes from main is fine.  And once its been filtered, its no longer classes as tap water, as its an "altered substance".  Also, our tanks in vans isnt connected to mains, so isnt classes under hose pipe ban.

Apparently drought bans dont affect us....but could imagine customers complaining about us wasting water, esp on down stairs.
