Do the restrictions apply to permanently installed ‘pop-up’ sprinkler irrigation systems

You will need to check this with your water company however; it is possible that the current hosepipe ban does not prevent the use of permanent ‘pop-up’ irrigation systems. This may change in the future if the drought conditions deteriorate and further restrictions are put in place. You should note that static hand-moved sprinklers (e.g. rain guns) supplied by a hosepipe are affected by the ban and should not be used.
