We are in a red zone in the Cher probably shot on the spot for washing your car with mains water.
What about well water are you allowed to use that? we have a deep well that never runs dry.

We can on.ly use car washes in our area as the water is recycled. No hand washing at home from any water source.
There is a spring 50 yards up the road from me,reading the local don’t/can’t instructions we are not allowed to draw water from it

If you use it , it just returns via whichever system of assainissement you have , back to the water table . Spring water is just the groundwater coming to the surface . Unless the spring has been capped and piped by someone that owns the land and therefore also the spring.

Thanks I suspected that would be the case.

You've answered your own question, cernunnos. I've been reading up on this subject as we were given verbal permission to use the water from a source-fed lake near our land. As things stand, the owner of the land where the spring comes out has total ownership of the water. It's theirs to dispose of/use as they wish. That could be an individual or the commune. I wouldn't mind betting that the law will be changed soon to give the State sole ownership  so they can 'sell' it back to whoever, or tax it. |

"L’article 642 du Code civil accorde au maître du fonds sur lequel elles jaillissent la propriété des eaux de source. Dans sa rédaction issue de la loi de 1898 sur le régime des eaux, cet article précise en effet que « celui qui a une source dans son fonds peut toujours user des eaux à sa volonté dans les limites et pour les besoins de son héritage »."
I doubt very very much that the French government would try to change this ancient law that gives people the right to use of water . It is not England here!

I have been trying for quite a while to find out what the restrictions are by asking on forums and scanning French websites. All they tell you is what colour your dept. is at the moment, which means little or nothing to me. |

Exactly, I'm happy and willing to follow the rules but am fully aware that in the real world others don't.  |
