Drought order on its way

Hard to believe that we are facing a drought order now. It will mean that we have to halt all:

• Watering by hosepipe, sprinklers or other similar apparatus, of
  gardens, parks and any natural or artificial surfaces used for sport or
  recreation. (Private gardens and allotments are already covered by the
  current hosepipe ban.)
• Filling privately-owned swimming pools.
• Cleaning the exterior of buildings, other than windows.
• Washing windows with a hosepipe, sprinkler or other apparatus.
