4. Although indicating yes, the practicalities of implementing such are difficult ... rota cuts to a section ... they work if the section has a daily timetable as to when supply is not available, but the demarcated boundary of a section can be difficult to pin-point; the turn-on process can result in burst pipes. Standpipes ... assume everyone is permitted 25L per day ... how do you monitor who has taken their daily allocation; the old, young and infirm - how do they physically get theirs? The well to do are going to arrive in their cars to collect - the practicalities of accommodating a car park?
11. Although indicating yes, during drought period and water restrictions, one has to be able to refer to contractual obligations that have been entered into prior to such eventualities. Don't want to find oneself in a position where there is ambiguity of supposed supply to the detriment of either Portsmouth or Southern Water users.

Instead of rota cuts to water supply ... water pressure reduction is an effective method of reducing consumption and loss through leaks. Reduction can be implemented through the install of appropriate valves on the wider network, as well as locally on a per household meter basis by the install of a water restrictor.
