Hosepipe ban - bluebadge exempt

[Justin Passing]

Some disabilities call for lot of water , hot tubs for example are tariff free when imported as they qualify as medical equipment .

That makes a bit more sense! I can turn the tap on, using my BB, for my wife's garden...


A hot tub for me would be nice. Except I wouldn't be able to get out...

I found it helps with myopathy, You can fit steps to aid getting in or out , or build into decking area .

Why does the government want to ban hosepipes.
Are they dangerous or something.

As population grows we need to build more reservoirs think last one was1992

IMO water meters should be mandatory and not up for negotiation.

7 million people in Britain will now be subjected to a hose pipe ban to conserve water. An unavoidable situation, if you were reading this in 1992 when the last reservoir was built.

We haven't had a hosepipe ban for 30 years in the midlands, severn trent rip us off blind but they sure know how to supply water....

Probably related to privatisation. A lack of long term planning.

Course!

All the money that should be ploughed into infrastructure has to keep the shareholders happy.

So, the actual answer: You're still allowed to use water from the taps on your garden using a watering can or drip irrigation system (in general), it's spraying from a hose that's banned because it's wasteful.

Since blue badge holders generally have mobility issues they may not be able to stroll around watering things with a watering can, so they're exempt.
