Essex and Suffolk Water's Temporary Use Ban (TUB) as known as a hosepipe ban comes into force at 00:01 on Monday 3 August 2026.
At Lowestoft Beacon Marina, we ask all customers and visitors in the marina or on the hardstanding to please refrain from using hosepipes to wash boats until further notice.
Exceptions apply where:
• It's needed for health or safety reasons
• You're cleaning any area which, except for doors or windows, is enclosed by a roof and walls
• You're cleaning boats as part of a business
• The boat is your primary residence
• Cleaning is needed to reduce increased fuel consumption caused by fouling
• The engine is designed to be cleaned with a hosepipe
• Cleaning is needed to prevent or control the spread of invasive or non-native species
