A HOSE pipe ban has been imposed for millions of homes across the UK.
South East Water said 2.4million customers will be affected by temporary restrictions in Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire from Saturday.
However, the firm is asking customers to cut back water use straight away, telling them not to use hosepipes for their gardens, cars, patios, boats or swimming pools.
It comes as Brits have basked in soaring temperatures for the past few weeks, with it heating up to over 30 degrees.
