Hosepipe ban may end next week

The Island has seen more rain fall over the last two days, just over two inches, than fell during August and September combined.If it continues, the Jersey New Waterworks Company say they will review the hosepipe ban and the running of the desalination plant, which has been operating since the last week of June.Jersey New Waterworks managing director and engineer Howard Snowden said: ‘It is still early days yet, but if this is indicative of what we have got for October, then we are in a much better situation.

It is getting to that time of the year when people are giving up on gardening, so it is less of a problem.’Principal meteorological officer Tony Pallot said: ‘This is much needed.

We are running into a more unsettled situation and it looks like there will be more rain with probably more showers overnight tonight.

It will get colder towards the weekend, with some showers.’
