After speaking to on site workers today, 🤞 the leak at the top of CEL (Brock Hill end) is to be
re tarmacked Thursday, so the road hopefully will be opened Friday.

The leak further along CEL is finally being attended to after 11 days of leaking. Traffic lights have been installed at this point.

Following the Environment Agency’s announcement of drought across the East Anglian area, Essex & Suffolk Water is introducing a Temporary Use Ban, also known as a hosepipe ban, for customers across the entire supply area.

The temporary restrictions will come into force from 00:01 on Monday 3 August, but we're asking everyone to start making these changes today.

After months of prolonged dry weather, warm temperatures and three successive heatwaves, the Environment Agency has declared East Anglia to be in drought. Low river flows and dry conditions are putting increasing pressure on the environment, and now is the right time for us all to play our part.

We know many customers have already voluntarily put their hosepipes away – thank you. If you haven't yet, we're now asking you to join them.

From Monday, you must not use a hosepipe to:
💧 Water gardens and plants
💧 Wash cars, patios or boats
💧 Fill swimming or paddling pools
💧 Use sprinklers or pressure washers

This isn't a decision we've taken lightly, but by reducing non-essential water use, together we can help protect our rivers and wildlife while safeguarding water supplies through the hot, dry weeks ahead.

Thank you for doing your bit. Every drop really does matter.
