That's interesting Manthos...I bought a brand new house on a new build estate in 2010 and it's located in a current ban area. Does this mean the ban doesn't apply to me?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

You'll have to ask your local council asim not sure if the new regs came in after that. There is a new estate in gorlston where a friend lives and they have been told the ban doesn't apply to them. I can use my hose to wash my works car but not the 6 as im a registered business.________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

Ok, I'll have to ask the question then...I don't recall getting a letter through the post stating we were *actually* banned, although I could have done as my memory is terrible these days.  Will check it out and let you know my findings...  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

sounds good. The point is however. If there is a shortage then there is a shortage and we should all be in the same boat not if you pay more the more you use then you can use your hose but if you pay a fixed amount you have to use less and dont get a discount________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

Shouldn't we have it in writing that there is a ban? Whats from saying we just didn't know, I only know because I seen a very short clip on the local news once... and I'm sure that was a few months back! |

True, but you shouldn't be notified by "word of mouth" or through the news.The reason for that is, we are all on different water suppliers and only some have implemented a ban. So you should receive notification through the post so you know one way or the other whether your property comes under the ban or not. For example, I fall under Anglian Water who have a ban in place (so I'm told) however 5 miles up the road the supplier is Cambridge Water and they don't have a ban.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I thought the same regarding how firm they could be about a ban when they don't directly inform anyone, apparently they only need to give notice of a ban in 2 newspapers circulated in the area and on their web site, they aren't required to inform each customer individually. |

It's far cheaper to just go easy for a bit until we have more fresh water As for the hose pipe bans I've never known anyone to receive notification, I think it's one of those things where it's just your responsibility to know. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Going on that basis then, if you got caught using your hose you could just plead ignorance and say you didn't receive any notifications through the post from your supplier and you haven't listened to/watched the news or read a paper recently. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Not only that, but you could have a water butt, they don't know. My dad got hold of one of these thousand litre jobbies off a friend of his, once that's filled from the gutters you could wash twenty cars without using a drop of water from the mains. Almost worth getting that, rigging up a sprinkler in your driveway and dancing through it naked during a ban just waiting for someone to call some kind of Water Police to report you. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

See that's exactly it.Why do people frown upon others doing something which is perrfectly fine and legal, something that they themselves are entitled to do but choose not to? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

No-one's ever written to me telling me I'm not meant to murder people, but as a citizen it's my responsibility to know it's frowned upon. Not really, you've never been allowed to murder someone. You have however been allowed to your hose and then subsequently been banned from doing so, told only by "word of mouth" not officially. For example, you washed the car with the hose at the end of last year before you put it away for the winter. Now you decide to get the car back out go for a drive and decide to give it a quick wash when you get back. It was perfectly acceptable to use the hose the last time you washed the car but not this time. Without "official" word what would the prosecution have against you? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
