Will there be a hosepipe ban for the West Midlands?

Severn Trent Water is asking customers to reduce the amount they use, to prevent a ban, which has already come in to force in Yorkshire for 2025.

Tony Larner from the company tells Tammy Gooding how some of the company's water-saving clips include reducing shower length times by a minute, turning taps off whilst brushing teeth and not running water straight out of a tap, to make it go cold.

He added how water levels for reservoirs in Worcestershire are 70% capacity, but how reservoirs aren't the only source of water that ends up coming out at our taps.
