Just got this off veolia water website regarding the hose pipe ban, it's at the bottom of page 11
https://central.veoliawater.co.uk/docs/drought-restrictions-explained(1).pdfWater fed poles are frequently used by window cleaners and are within the definition of ‘anything designed, adapted or used to serve the same purpose as a hosepipe’. These systems use de-ionised water. Where mains water is the source used to create this de- ionised water, this activity is restricted.
What do you make of that?
Exceptions
A statutory exception exists in The Water Use (Temporary Bans) Order 2010 for the cleaning
of domestic walls or windows in respect of health or safety. Its not very reassuring mate, but maybe we'll have to use those h&s rules back at them, the same way they did on us when using ladders! Im with veolia too, so it looks like a grey area? Would it be a water ban v H&S issues? Or tops wfp and base trad? If it does get that bad, ill have to go to a commercial pure water supplier, until the ban is lifted.
