Residents across North Lincolnshire are voicing their concerns as a hosepipe ban comes into effect concurrently with ongoing water leaks in the area. The ban, which impacts households in Yorkshire and parts of North Lincolnshire, restricts the use of hosepipes for tasks such as watering gardens and washing cars. Many individuals have reported substantial water leaks that remain unaddressed. This raises concerns about water waste amidst a period of drought. Despite Yorkshire Water’s commitment to minimise leakage and steps taken to tackle the issue, residents are urging for swift action to repair leaks and safeguard water supplies.
