Water-use targets not ambitious enough - charity

Hosepipe bans will not stop until the Welsh government implements stricter water use targets, a charity has said.

Bleddyn Lake of Friends of the Earth Cymru labelled current plans - to drop usage from 150 litres per person per day to 110 - as "not ambitious enough".

Mr Lake argued that this target should be brought down "dramatically" to 80 litres per person per day.

The Welsh government said it encouraged everyone "to be considerate in their water usage to maintain water flow".

From 19 August, much of south-west Wales will be subject to a hosepipe ban that is expected to last weeks.

It means people will not be allowed to water their plants, wash their cars or clean windows using a hose.

Welsh Water said it was its first hosepipe ban since 1989 and comes as the country experiences its driest year since 1976.

The company said Pembrokeshire has only seen just over 60% of the expected rainfall between March and July.

Data from the Met Office shows Wales experienced its lowest July rainfall since 2006.

"Welsh government have got a target for 110 litres per person in new builds, which is better but still not near where we should be getting to," said Mr Lake.

He said that a target of 80 litres per day would force new-build homes to implement stricter water saving measures to meet the "stringent and ambitious target".
