Households are being urged to put their garden hosepipes away properly this autumn, with many hoses likely to be coiled up with water still inside after a summer of hosepipe bans.
50 years on from the drought of 1976, households are warned about hidden dangers lurking in their hosepipe as they seek relief from 39°C heat during Met Office red warning.
Almost half of homeowners don’t use approved plumbers for work in their home, according to research by WaterSafe Register, the UK’s national register of approved plumbers.
The UK's largest directory of vetted, qualified plumbers is getting a new name - and a renewed push to get more householders using it before they hire. WaterSafe, the national register of approved plumbing installers, will officially become WaterSafe Register from 1st April.
WaterSafe, in partnership with the Water Health Partnership, the Welsh Government and the Drinking Water Inspectorate, has called for the end of the illegal use of lead solder in plumbing to protect public health, particularly that of children.
