It is damn right that Southern Water should warn gardeners not to over-water their gardens during this dry spell.
I deliver to all areas of Brighton and Hove in the evenings for a living and recently I have witnessed people hosing their gardens (including grass) for more than 25 minutes.
This waste of pure drinking quality water is a crime in my opinion and only drinking and washing should be acceptable.
If you wish to wash your car, use a car wash which uses recycled water and, gardeners, please either use rainwater you have saved or choose plants which need little or no water.
