South West Water's Hosepipe Ban: A Symptom of a Broader Crisis The recent introduction of a hosepipe ban by South West Water (SWW) has sparked widespread outrage among residents, who are questioning why they should be penalized for using a resource that the company is failing to provide in sufficient quantities.
The ban applies to all customers in Devon, Cornwall, parts of Dorset and Somerset, and the Isles of Scilly.
South West Water's history of incompetence when it comes to managing sewage treatment and waste disposal is well documented.
