As the region prepares to welcome millions of holidaymakers over the school summer break, South West Water is asking everyone to use water wisely.
The prolonged hot and dry spell has led to over a month of very high demand for water.
Rob Scarrott, Head of Environment, said: “We’re still working hard behind the scenes to meet the increased demand for water and reviewing the situation closely.
