Yes, but due to a *severe* shortage, a ban on 'common sense delivery
by hosepipe' has been in effect for central and local government in
the UK for most of the last couple of hundred years g

And Sparks, sadly the ban also applies to lawn sprinklers I believe.

Bugger, how about small flower bed sprayers (Not sprinlkers :-) and drippers
like these

would be dubious of using grey water in a sprinkler system anyway,
depending on the hardness of your water, soap scum can build up and
clog the heads (although your filtering system may well take care of
that).

We live in a reasonably hard water area, however we do have a water
softener, so the water that is used in the bathroom is very soft.

Contacting the water company anonymously might be an option,
see what they say with regards to the issue.

I have just written an email to someone at the environment agency, as their
website has information about harvesting rainwater, hopefully they can help!
