Update
Well at last we have had some real rain and
puddles are everywhere! We will keep our eyes on the ground and
report back. Just remember we are still under a complete hose pipe
ban in Horsted Keynes.
At HorstedKeynes.Com we were wondering when it last rained around
here, not drizzle real heavy rain? We reckon it's been more than 9
months since we had a real puddle on The Green! As you will know there has been
a full hosepipe ban in force
in our part of Sussex since last year and since that was applied
well, you try to remember when the heavens' last opened?
Many
people think that villagers get their water from the
Weirwood reservoir near Forest
Row. In fact all village supplies come from self contained underground storage with
a pumping station off Station Road.
The purpose of this page is to recognise that we are still in a
drought and to comment on the water shortage situation that will
inevitably get worse as the weather warms up and Spring and Summer
arrive.
Do you have a swimming pool?
Are you filling it this year? |
