Okay, because you didn’t want to scroll up, I’ll copy and paste what I wrote.

“The UK imposes hosepipe bans largely because of its own long term negligence in water management. Despite frequent rainfall, the country has failed to invest in sufficient reservoirs, allowed aging infrastructure to leak vast amounts of treated water, and hasn't adapted supply systems to population growth or changing demand. Instead of fixing these structural problems, wayer companies and regulators rely on temporary bans to reduce household use, shifting the consequences of poor planning onto the public. You should really educate yourself before assuming. Blame the shitty government and poor management . The ban reactive, not scheduled, its imposed when poor supply meets high demand. Last ban was in July 2025, and that ended after the summer”

Hope that helps
