People face a fine of up to £1,000 for persistent hosepipe ban breaches, leaving green-fingered homeowners dismayed as their sun-scorched plants perish in the heat
Tens of thousands of people in Pembrokeshire will be subject to water restrictions after the county saw just over 60% of expected rainfall between March and July - prompting Welsh Water to introduce a hosepipe ban from 19 August.
"Introducing the hosepipe ban is not a decision we have taken lightly, however if we are to make sure there is enough water to see us through the rest of the summer and into the autumn then we need to act now to try to prevent any further restrictions later on."
