Essex and Suffolk Water says drought conditions persist despite rainfall, with reservoirs at 46 per cent.
Essex and Suffolk Water has said that drought conditions persist across the region despite recent rainfall. The water company reported that reservoirs are at 46 per cent capacity.
Demand for water has fallen by 7 per cent since the introduction of a Temporary Use Ban on 3 August. The ban restricts non-essential water use such as garden watering and car washing.
The company's update indicates that whilst the reduction in demand has helped, reservoir levels remain below normal and drought conditions have not yet been fully resolved.
