Thames Water Hosepipe Ban

This year, the UK experienced one of its warmest and driest springs in over a century. June was also England’s warmest on record. The Environment Agency has put our area into the prolonged dry weather category. 

To help protect our rivers and to make sure there’s enough water to go around, Thames Water need to bring in a hosepipe ban.

The hosepipe ban will start on Tuesday, 22 July 2025, in parts of Thames Water’s supply area: 

• All OX postcodes 
• All GL postcodes 
• All SN postcodes 
• RG4, RG8, and RG9 postcodes
