As far as I know, businesses have to have a water meter.

We all like to see flowers in bloom in parks and on verges and roundabouts. But it really annoys me when there is a hosepipe ban, but the councils still have sprinklers going. Personally I don't think this should be included in the exemption. We can make do without flowers in these places whilst there is a water shortage. And it would also save money in these difficult economic times.

Most of you probably don't realise, but in some areas the water companies have cut the water pressure to fire hydrants. This can obviously cause a serious issue with firefighting operations.
