Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Eustice warned the"very unusual" mix of record hot weather and low rainfall means suppliers must go further to ensure there's an adequate water supply.has now come into force in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight for the first time in 10 years - with restrictions to be rolled out across Sussex, Kent and Pembrokeshire later this month.
