Really?

Can we power wash? I thought the ban prevented this.. Am I missing a trick...?

if it's done by them then it's banned

''What am I still allowed to do?

Use a hosepipe in a garden or for cleaning walls or windows of domestic premises, paths or patios, a private leisure boat or an artificial outdoor surface, where such use is necessary for health and safety reasons;
Use a hosepipe in the course of a business to clean a private motor vehicle, or for cleaning walls or windows of domestic premises, paths or patios or an artificial outdoor surface, where this is done as a service to customers''

colchester ,essex
i just read that so i should be ok

I think that Anglian have a different stance to some of the other SE water companies, so you might want to check to be sure where you stand..  How I see this is, until the last minute none of the water companies are going to say what we can or can't do.
Bit of a mess really.
