RECENTLY, a report stated that in the years to come there may be a serious water shortage. Possibly not in my time but it is a warning for young people.
Having witnessed a disgraceful waste of water with the use of a pressure washer on a patio, isn’t it time Northumbrian Water demanded that any one owning or using such an item should be on a water meter?
Weeds can be removed between patio stones by weedkiller and then followed up a couple of days later using a couple of buckets of water and a hard sweeping brush.
I am on a water meter but do not own a pressure washer.
