A number of temporary prohibitions on the use of water (which have been subject to various exemptions) have been in force in the Thames Water area since 5 April 2012. We are pleased to announce that all of these prohibitions have now been lifted with immediate effect .

We are very grateful to our customers for their cooperation in conserving supplies during the water shortage. We ask customers to continue to show restraint and to use their hosepipes responsibly to help secure future supplies.

Any queries in connection with this announcement should be addressed to: Public Consultations Team, 2nd East, Thames Water, Clearwater Court, Vastern Road, Reading RG1 8DB.
