Yorkshire Water have provided guidance on the use of hosepipes on allotment gardens.
A hosepipe can be used for watering food crops but not for general flowers and plants. Where you can, we'd encourage you to use a watering can to save on the volume of water which is used through traditional hosepipes. It's best to water in the morning or evening, as that means the water won't evaporate quickly in the sunshine. It's important people respect the restrictions when it is in place from 11th July. It is only temporary, and normal service will resume as soon as we can.
