Chelsea14Ian Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Much needed rain overnight. A spokeswoman for Anglian water on BBC breakfast this morning, again said she thinks there won't be a hosepipe ban this year.If it's a dry winter that may be a problem . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annv Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi Kpnut The supermarkets will sell you water in big containers and deliver to your boat. luckily i have a well so that enables me to extract up too 11 cubic meters of water a day with out any restrictions.

I don't even buy a 500ml bottle of water from supermarkets!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 This thread has devolved into a load of rubbish - there isn't a hosepipe ban and even if there were, they won't ban boatowners from using them for boats nor stop people being sensible. There - thats the answer to the OP!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnut Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’m sorry I asked! It was just a general question as to how it impacted on boat waterfills, if it were ever to be the case. I was just curious and thought a few people would have had experience from past years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I don’t see why asking the question is problematic. I agree that the subsequent discussion was going around in circles though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
