A water company is considering introducing a hosepipe ban due to recent weather conditions.
Thames Water supplies water to parts of Kent, including Dartford and Sevenoaks.
The company says it has been seeing “increasing customer demand across large parts of the Thames Valley”, the BBC reports.
It added that it will need to introduce usage restrictions “unless the situation changes significantly” – which could include a hosepipe ban.
It comes as the Met Office issued a six-day yellow heat health alert for Kent, with temperatures once again set to soar.
The warning will be in place from 10am on Wednesday until 10am next Tuesday.
The Met Office says some areas could reach heatwave criteria and possibly see temperatures in the low 30s by the end of the week.
It comes after two amber heat health alerts were issued in consecutive weeks at the end of June amid two separate heatwaves.
Temperatures in Kent reached a scorching 34C last Tuesday.
Thames Water has been approached for more information.
