GMA PUBLISH GUIDANCE

The Grounds Management Association has published some information on the temporary use bans, or ‘hosepipe bans’.

They say their guidance is " . .designed to help grounds people to understand what bans are currently in place and whether or not their local water company has granted an exemption for continued use."

The Association says, "Bans are typically aimed at domestic customers and water companies make clear on their website who is exempt. Statutory exceptions include ‘Using a hosepipe for health or safety reasons, where this includes (a) removing or minimising any risk to human or animal health or safety.’"
