SES Water has told its customers that it’s not planning a hosepipe ban. 

In an email, the water company serving the East Surrey and Sutton area, says it can’t rule out the need for restrictions in the future but they’re not yet in a position where they feel it’s necessary. 

Although Bough Beech reservoir is lower than expected at this time of year, SES Water mainly relies on sources stored under the ground where there’s less chance of evaporation.

The announcement comes after South East Water announced a hosepipe ban for its Kent and Sussex customers from this Friday.
