It's not just South Cumbria. Entering any postcode at all (even, say, a
London one) into the UU homepage hosepipe ban search box leads to this
map...


Mine comes back as "unaffected" a NE Eden District one. B-) Our
water comes from Burnhope now, it used to come from an adit up the
hill about 1/2 a mile away.

But yes the search is broken as I put in a Slough post code and it is
affected...

I'd report it to them but the web form wants a full address(*) and
one of the required fields is "Road/street name:" our road doesn't
have a name. I guess I could find its C number but life is too
short...

(*) Far too much information for a general report/enquiry, looks like
they are employing second rate web "designers" to me. Ones that don't
actually use web sites or properly test the stuff they have written.
