By: Marcus Bicknell | - Surprising as it may seem, England is short of water, and there is now official encouragement to reduce mains water consumption both by maximising the use of rainwater and using water-efficient appliances.

This law might not come into force within the next twelve months but it will happen at some point. A drought order banning the topping up could be imposed at any time. Howe ...
