<p style="margin-bottom: 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; color: #424242;">With the current hot weather and many people still at home due to Covid-19 we are expecting water demand levels to increase considerably over the next few days. Rest assured our key water workers will be working around the clock to make sure water supplies keep flowing.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 11.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; color: #424242;">We have enough water but the problem we could be facing is that at peak times people’s water requirements may exceed what we can push through our pipe network. This may cause some short term and localised reductions in pressure. Garden watering in particular adds significantly to the demand and with rain expected later in the week we hope our customers will be careful in this respect. </span></p>
<span style="font-family: inherit; color: #424242;">Please bear with us if you experience a reduction in pressure and of course you could help us by </span>thinking carefully about the water you use, particularly in the garden,  this will help ease demand at peak times. Thank you, in advance for your support and understanding.
