United utilities in the north west is gearing up for a hose pipe ban if we don't get rain in the next week or so which is making me nervous. Does anybody have any concrete info on how we will be affected?

[Nick Wareham]

Hosepipe ban or no hosepipe ban, i will be working if it happens.

Somehow i dont think the bank will accept "hosepipe ban" as a valid reason for not paying my mortgage,.

Nothing and nobody will stop me earning a living, and I'll happily go to court if it comes to it.

[dazmond]

i dont think it affects businesses as you treat the water for commercial purposes!!

ill be carrying on anyway as ive just got going wfp.sod going back to ladders!!!

im mainly cleaning wfp tops/trad bottoms for small domestic and fully wfp on big country houses and commercial.

i dont think we ll have to wait too long for some bad weather!!!

what you worrying about??

200-300L of water is nothing really compared to other businesses consumption!!!

Unbelieveable lack of investment!

Floods through Cockermouth last winter and they can't even build a decent dam and or water grid to feed the wettest area in England!

My MiL lives on Tenerife - they have no lakes or groundwater and over a million people to water, along with the tourists, tomatoes and bananas. They desalinate and conserve.

I despair!

well said that man and the ban wont effect business use but your custies may have a few raised eyebrows  :  well done them lads only using a bucket full  and if thay only know that about 90% of the water used to make your tds 000 went straight down the drain 

[gary999]

90% must really have a crap ro and if you are di only
there is no waste water somebody seems to be a little
bit misinformed 

[geefree]

The pure from most ro units comes out only a little faster than the waste,

fill a litre bottle of pure and a litre bottle of waste..... aint  much difference in fill time.!

[tws]

i was thinking the over exaggeration would get a reaction don't have a go at me im not the one wasting everyone's drinking water  truth is its a ratio of about 4;1 waste to pure water but can change dependant on temp and tds of that area. im in the north west and have seen these reservoirs emptying since  dazmond changed over to wfp there was no talk of hose pipe bans before he got cocky and went for a 50ltr trolly

So are you saying the reason everyone will have their hosepipes banned is down to Dazmond?

SHAME on you Dazmond!!!

It wont happen to us,

Its like telling restaurants that they cant wash their dishes.

The water companies couldn't afford the lawsuits if they stopped us cleaning windows. Are they going to put a stop to all businesses who use water (i.e al of them) by saying non essential use of water is banned? How much water do breweries use in beer production? This is not essential use of water but they wouldn't be able to stop them from producing would they.

[The Jester of Wibbly]

put a cup of rain water in the tank and call it treated rain water 

[WCE]

If it went to court though it would be an interesting test case. H&S ruling and such like I reckon the WC would win.

[tacky]

not in this country .unless u r on the dole

[Londoner]

If the worst comes to the worst I'll just go back to trad. I've done it before and I can do it again.
Mind you It would be a real shock to the system. I've grown soft over the past few years and many of my present customers couldn't easily be done trad.

always have a gud mix simples
