00:00Hello, I'm Greg Wright of the Yorkshire Post. Yorkshire Water has announced that hosepipe
00:06restrictions will be brought in from Friday. Yorkshire Water said that Yorkshire has experienced
00:13both the driest and warmest spring on record this year, receiving just 15 centimetres of
00:21rainfall between February and June, which is less than half what is expected in an average year.
00:28Yorkshire Water's Director of Water, Dave Kay, said we need to take action now to help conserve water
00:34and protect Yorkshire's environment. That means from Friday this week, people across Yorkshire
00:40will need to stop using their hosepipes to water their gardens, wash their cars or for any other
00:47activities.
