    We’ve had one of the top 10 wettest winters on record and reservoirs in my region are down to about 50%, and there’s no new reservoir construction or expansion even in the planning phase.

    I don’t think it’s a huge leap to think about the possibility of reservoirs running dry if we have a couple more dry summers and follow that with even an average winter supplies could be dangerously low.

      Suppose it also depends on how much water do you want if it was to run out. If you can afford it then continue as normal with a few £1000 spent on a tank could be OK.

      Worst case is enough to drink and wash your hands, and pretty sure they would be distributing water you can collect if it was to get that low.
