| Shower timers can be tradtional egg timer design or digital alarm systems |
I am feeling rather depressed at not being issued with a waterproof four- minute egg timer for use in my shower as a simple tool to conserve water. These are being issued throughout south-east England in an attempt to conserve supplies. South East and Anglia Water areas are especially at risk as are the midlands, including Birmingham. However, with hosepipe bans inevitable, it appears that we are heading for a very dry year…as dry as 1975 which I remember very well. It was the first and only time I have seen lawns and agricultural grassland simply wither and die. Ireland may also be facing a similar situation this summer and as supplies are always at a critical level in the East, especially in the Greater Dublin area, it is perhaps time to seriously consider conservation measures and issuing waterproof egg timers here as well.
