A new hosepipe ban has been confirmed as millions of Britons have been told to stop using water immediately.
Southern Water informed around one million of its customers the restriction will prohibit them from filling paddling pools and watering their plants.
It will come into force a week from today, on July 10.
The water firm warned that, without “significant” rainfall from between now and autumn, the ban could last up until past September.
South East Water confirmed it would also impose a hosepipe ban, which will take effect on Friday for its Kentish customers.
