Water restrictions
A good link but it did not tell me anything I didn't already know (which is how it should be of course). En crise, so the use of drinking water is forbidden for just about all uses except cleaning, drinking and cooking.
I was hoping beyond hope that i might find some derogation to allow me to put some water into the pool. But of course not. The level is now so low that if I have to back-flush the filter, it will drop below the inlet. So it might be argued as a case of maintaining health and cleanliness. I am not going to risk €1500 finding out.

Water restrictions
The restrictions have been in force here for a while now. We've still got stored water in our cubis and water barrels for watering plants. We save any water run off in the house (3-4 litres every time we run hot water through for the shower), washing veg, etc. We've turned down the hot water thermostat which should make the run off less. In this heat, who wants a hot shower ? We've always been careful with water, partly to avoid running up a large bill ! It's just become a habit.
