While record-level temperatures continue to affect the UK, Thames Water, the country's largest water and wastewater services company, has announced that restrictions will be imposed on water use in and around the capital, London.

Thames Water, which serves 15 million people in many regions in the south of the country, including London, announced that they will implement the "hose ban" in the coming weeks.

It was noted that the company's decision to restrict the hot weather warnings made by the British Meteorological Agency (Met Office) was taken into account.

Due to "legal procedures", it was not specified when the restriction would come into effect.

On the other hand, it is expected that excessive use of water will be banned in works such as gardening and filling swimming pools, within the scope of the restrictions that may last until October.
