A drought has been declared for parts of England after the driest summer on record for 50 years.

That’s why we’re building a 400km, half-metre-wide pipe to bring water from the north of our region down to the dry south and east. “The resilience we’ve created, combined with the best leakage record in the industry and 90% of our customers having meters, means we’re able to manage drawn out periods of intense hot weather. Just 5% of the water we use comes directly from rivers.

But Anglian Water and Cambridge Water still do not plan to introduce hosepipe bans.

“We will continue to work with the EA and Defra to ensure we undertake any actions required as continue to keep the current situation under close review. Once river levels drop to a certain point – called the ‘hands off flow’ – we have to reduce the volume of water we take from the environment to ensure these levels do not drop any further. That’s why we’re building a 400km, half-metre-wide pipe to bring water from the north of our region down to the dry south and east. Natalie Akroyd, head of water resources at Cambridge Water, said: “Today the EA has announced that the East Anglian region is an area of drought. The job isn’t done, but with the help of our customers and the team at AW, we’re making good progress.” “The Environment Agency imposes conditions on our licences that protect the local chalk streams in our Cambridge Water operating area during periods of hot weather. “The resilience we’ve created, combined with the best leakage record in the industry and 90 per cent of our customers having meters, means we’re able to manage drawn out periods of intense hot weather. “That’s why, earlier this year, we reduced the water we take from the River Nene so farmers and nature reserves downstream could use more. Just five per cent of the water we use comes directly from rivers. But because of the investments we’ve made and the support of our customers, we still do not envisage needing a hosepipe ban in our region this summer. “Just because we don’t have a hosepipe ban, though, doesn’t mean people can be reckless with water. “Over the last decade we’ve spent hundreds of millions improving resilience.

However, there is still pressure on the supply – with the rainfall deficit now equivalent to three months’ worth of rain. It’s also why we’re urging people to step up and save water now to make sure we have enough for us and the environment today, tomorrow, next month and next summer. We'll keep watching river levels very closely, as the forecast for this month remains dry and warm.

“In the garden, we’re recognising how dry it is and we’re being more careful with watering. “UEA experts say the East of England is the UK region most at risk from what’s becoming a new and volatile normality of heatwaves and drought. The spokeswoman added: “If this coming winter is as dry as last year, we will be in a much more serious position come spring.” The ratio in other parts of the country is different, with more reliance on surface sources. While no hosepipe ban is in the pipeline, the firm is encouraging customers to abide by various measures – like taking shorter showers and using watering cans rather than sprinklers. Right across the south of England, we are hearing of hosepipe bans being enforced as a result of the prolonged dry weather.

Despite the lack of rainfall, Anglian Water says that there is currently no plans in place for a hosepipe ban, with local reservoir levels still around 80% full ...

If this coming winter is as dry as last year, we will be in much more serious position come spring. It’s why we invest millions every year fixing leaks and planning for a drier future, because we know there’s going to be more people here, but fewer raindrops to go round. East Anglia received just one fifth of the rain we’d expect in July.
