People next door are using their pressure washer every day- hose pipe ban

Scroll to see replies

Ok bad phrasing but whining about it requires an element of manning up. :smile:

I'll rephrase: Get over it OP, hose pipe ban is almost over -apparently anyway.

Its not almost over. The resviors are still empty. What is required is winter rain to replenish the resviors not spring rain. I guess you have never studied hydrology like i have...

I definitely haven't studied hydrology.

These hose pipe bans don't affect me as I don't have a garden and I don't use hoses.

However a few dirty great big pipes have burst near me and I imagine that's wasted FAR more water than has been saved by hose pipe banning in my local area. There was loads of water and took a while to rectify too which was shameful.

Though improving Victorian pipes will be far more costly even if it saves more water overall in the future.

You are right however, Thames water predicts there will be a ban for a good while to come:

If you report your neighbours, do they get a fine?

If they don't listen and keep using their hosepipe or pressure washer they will get a fine. Not my problem. The south has no water.

Shut up man. hold up so if everyone used up all the water. then what would you do? use a standpipe? get a bucket of water to flush your toilet? wash your clothes by hand? bathe you self with a bucket of water a sponge? you are a loser.

It's not the desert. If the worst came to the worst, I would use a rainwater collection system to collect the water that seems to still be falling, use grey water for flushing toilets etc.
I do wash my clothes by hand, I don't have a washing machine.

But I can guarantee that one man using his pressure cleaner will not cause all the water to be 'used up.'

Also, there are other methods of getting water, such as purifying sea water, which is expensive, but would probably be managed to prevent water being collected from a sandpipe. :rolleyes:

I just run my hose all day and laugh like a maniac.
The best part is I live in a flat.

Omg, no one cares.

If your concerned about saving water how about having a sponge bath as the norm, and have a shower 3 times a week instead - that would save much more water. (PS. I know it sounds gross)

snitch much..?

Get me the prime minister

i could understand if you didn't like your neighbours if they ran over your dog or something, but ignoring the hose-pipe ban is the pettiest crime possible. do you have nothing better to do or is this some sort of hobby of yours to report the most pathetic of misdemenours?
