UK citizens urged not to call police over hosepipe ban

London, Aug 19 (UNI) Police of the UK region of South West England ask citizens not to report violations of the hosepipe ban, as it is not a criminal offense, police spokesman Nikki Leaper said on Friday, adding that the ban will come into force only next week.
The police statement follows the decision of the water operator South West Water to impose a ban on the use of hoses, as the region has had little rain for the past eight months. The ban will take effect from Tuesday to protect dwindling stocks of water.
"We are also already getting calls from people reporting breaches of the hosepipe ban due to come in next week – which should be directed to the water company. All these issues should be dealt with by other agencies. There is a list of these agencies on our website, so please check online before you call us," Leaper said, as quoted by The Guardian.
