HOSEPIPE BAN POSTPONED BY SEVERN TRENT
Severn Trent Water has had to delay
until Tuesday the imposition of a hose-
pipj ban due to have started tonight.
The water company is unable to go ahead
with the ban from midnight because it
has not advertised the move in two
national newspapers, as required by law
The restrictions will now come into
force at midday on Tuesday.
But the company has meanwhile urged
customers to observe "the spirit of the
ban" in view of a "serious shortage of
water resources".
