Hosepipe bans in various parts of the UK, including Yorkshire and Sussex, are expected to last until significant and sustained rainfall improves reservoir and water supply levels. For example, Yorkshire Water has indicated that the hosepipe ban could extend into early 2026, depending on rainfall and reservoir recovery. Similarly, in Sussex, the ban remains in place with further restrictions lifted only when water supply levels and demand stabilize without breaching drought plans. No specific fixed end date for these bans is available, as their lifting depends largely on weather conditions and reservoir status monitoring by water companies and the Environment Agency.
