Don't waste water during hot weather, people urged

As Wales basks in the warm weather, people are being urged to "be careful" with their use of water.

Wales saw the hottest start to May on record on Thursday, with temperatures soaring to 27.6C (80F) in Cardiff.

Welsh Water said its resources were in a "good position" but reservoir levels were "just below what is expected at this time of year", adding it was ramping up efforts to move water around to where demand was highest.

Director of water services Marc Davies said: "Use the water you need but don't waste it. It's things like when you're brushing your teeth, to turn the taps off."
