With temperatures hitting over 30 degrees this week, let's make every drop count 💧​

Our teams are working 24/7 to keep taps flowing. In the hot weather we see more demand than usual, which puts extra pressure on our network.

In this weather, it’s important to keep cool and look after pets and plants, but we want to make sure there’s enough water to go round. Here are some ways to make sure every drop goes a little further: ​

💧 Only use water for essentials like drinking, cooking and washing​
🪴 Swap the hosepipe for a watering can – reuse water from rinsing food, unfinished drinks or a water butt​
☀️ If you’re using a paddling pool, make it last – cover it overnight and reuse the water​
🚗 Hold off on non-essential jobs like washing the car, patio or windows​

A quick reminder that BBQs, and fires of any kind, are not allowed in any area of our parks or woodlands. Bring along a picnic instead and enjoy our green open spaces.

With hot weather forecast for this week, our waste and recycling crews will be starting a little earlier to help them work in the cooler part of the day.
Collections will begin from around 6.20am to 6.30am instead of the usual 7am start, so please make sure your bins are out the night before or by 6am on your collection day.
As previous years, crews will return for any bins missed because they weren’t presented in time. Please spread the word to friends and neighbours who may not see this message. ♻️
