A water company that has imposed a hosepipe ban has blamed people working from home for the shortage.
South East Water, which supplies More Than two million homes and businesses in Sussex and Kent, will implement the restriction from Monday.

'Garden of England'Sussex artist Jutta Wrobel, 61, of Wadhurst, who started an online petition demanding a change of ownership of South East Water after having no supply for Five Days , accused Mr Hinton of " victim-blaming".
She Said : " This is a deflection from The Real issue which is How To stop South East Water paying away all our money in dividends rather than reinvesting in our water infrastructure, which is a public utility and a human right, " She Said .
" We Are supposed to be The Garden of England. We Are not supposed to have hosepipe bans for two years running. "
In a letter to customers, Mr Hinton said: " The Rise of working from home has increased Drinking Water demand in commuter towns by around 20% over a very short period, testing our existing infrastructure.
" Our reservoir and aquifer stocks of raw water, essential to our water supply but not ready to be used, are in a good position. However, demand for treated mains water, which takes time to process and deliver, was greater than we could meet.
" Over The Past week we have needed to find water to supply the equivalent of an additional four towns the size of Maidstone or Eastbourne, Every Day . "
South East Water's head of Service Management , Steve Andrews, said: " We announced the temporary use ban on Friday 16 June. Following a period of consultation, we will be able to take action against customers who contravene the hosepipe restrictions from Monday 26 June. "
