As we continue to enjoy the beautiful summer, thoughts often turn to whether there will be a water shortage and indeed a hose pipe ban across our region. Well the current information is looking good, and a hosepipe ban is unlikely (famous last words) http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/anglian-water-hosepipe-ban-suffolk-essex-1-5585861
We all know that saving water is good, good for our household bills and also good for the environment. According to Anglian Water, here in the East we are below average on our water consumption at an average of 133 litres per day, the average consumption being 140-145 litre's a day.
Here are some wise words from Anglian Water about how to stay cool and save water during the summer https://www.anglianwater.co.uk/environment/how-you-can-help/using-water-wisely/summer-waterwise-tips.aspx

So what else can your property benefit from whilst its so dry?
It is a good time of year to spruce up your guttering, checking for blockages caused by a build up of debris, repair leaking taps and check internal pipework too. Then outside the property its good to get your drainage system checked for damage. Tree roots will naturally grow towards a source of water. When water runs through a pipe, vapour escapes to the nearest cool soil surrounding the pipe. The vapour usually escapes from the pipe due to a crack or fracture in the pipeline, then the roots will grow towards the vapour. Once this has been established, the roots will then begin to grow inside the pipe. This will then decrease the amount of carrying capacity in the drains, putting pressure on the whole system, compromising the efficiency too. You may even experience other signs such as nasty smells, and poor flow or a change in your bills. If you suspect roots have caused damage to your pipes. We can send one of our qualified, experienced and friendly engineers to carry out a CCTV Survey.
