Since my last post with regards to Water Usage members of the Committee got together to discuss and consider turning the water off for a period of time. After lengthy discussusions it was agreed that it would stay on.
Last months bill was exceptionally high, and although our consumption had reduced, this months may be relatively high too. Therfore, I urge you to use water responsibly and use a watering can whenever possible.
There has been a number of water authorities that have imposed hose pipe bans recently, although Severn Trent isn’t one of them, at the moment they are asking people not to use hosepipes, butI do expect them to bring a ban in to force soon, having not had any significant rainfall. The weather for the next 10 days predicts that tempratures will rise again, with no rain forecast, making the likelyhood of a hosepipe ban more likely.
Our “Water Usage Policy” states that sprinklers are prohibited, yet I have had reports that a few tenants are using them. This a blatant disregard for the rules that you agreed to abide by and will be dealt with accordingly. It certainly isn’t using water responsibly.
The committee will be meeting again on the 14th August and water usage will be on the agenda.
