Reservoir levels falling in spite of the hosepipe ban

CONCERNS REMAIN FOR YORKSHIRE WATER

- By LAURA CROSS [e-mail] @Hulllive

YORKSHIRE Water says domestic water usage across the region has dropped 10 per cent. It comes following a hosepipe ban, which has been in place since July 11.

The company has since thanked customers for their efforts to save water. According to Yorkshire Water, 70-80 million litres per day have been saved in warm weather, while days with cooler temperatures and rainfall over the last three weeks led to savings of approximately 35 million litres.
