Recorded area
Where the restriction applies
Central region only: Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and parts of London and Essex.
The recorded area covers Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and parts of London and Essex within the Central supply region. Affinity also serves areas outside this region, so the company name by itself is not enough to decide whether the restriction applies.
Property check
How to avoid a boundary mistake
Check the drinking-water supplier on the bill, then use Affinity Water’s own restriction checker for the property. This matters particularly in London and Essex, where the record covers only part of each area.
- Confirm that Affinity Water supplies the drinking water.
- Check that the property falls in the Central region.
- Read Affinity Water’s current exceptions before using a hosepipe.
Evidence record
What the source says
Affinity Water gives 00:01 on 17 July 2026 as the enforceable start. Water UK’s national overview showed a different date when reviewed. We retain the supplier’s date and disclose the disagreement instead of silently choosing one.
