Drought measures remain in force despite reservoir levels 'moving in the right direction'.
Reservoir levels are still lower than usual despite recent rainfall, Yorkshire Water says
Water levels in Yorkshire reservoirs have risen by 19% in the past six weeks but are still below expected levels for the time of year, Yorkshire Water said.Despite the levels "moving in the right direction" drought measures remained in force and could continue into 2023. A hosepipe ban was introduced in August after levels fell below 50% for the first time since the drought of 1995.Granville Davies, manager of water and catchment strategy at Yorkshire Water, said the rainfall was not evenly spread across the county and some reservoirs in South Yorkshire were "still much lower than we would hope".
"Reservoir levels are moving in the right direction - we're seeing some significant increases week-on-week as the rainfall, drought permits, additional leakage activity, and support from our customers to save water, help them to top up," he said.The company's extensive network of pipes was being used to move water around the region and it had applied to the Environment Agency for additional measures to help balance stocks.
Yorkshire Water said the situation was under constant review and customers would be told as soon as it met the requirements needed to lift the hosepipe ban.
