Brits have been told to avoid baths, put less water in the kettle and only do fully loads of laundry in a bid to avoid a hose pipe ban as hot dry weather returns this month.
Water bosses have advised residents to follow water-saving advice as temperatures are forecast to reach up to 98F in London and in the South by July 15.
High temperatures are expected across much of the country through next week with the mercury pushed over 93F in the midlands and 80F in the North.
An Environment Agency spokesperson said: 'People should use water wisely and follow advice from their suppliers.
'Further hot, dry weather could put pressure on some areas. We will continue to take action where necessary.
'River flows and reservoir levels have receded across central and south western England.'

Water supplies have given a variety of advice with Thames Water suggesting Brits 'ave water by only starting the washing machine once it's fully loaded.'
Anglian Water told the Daily Star that residents to 'use every space in your dishwasher before putting it on.'
While Scottish Water said people should 'fill the kettle with only the water you need to help protect a precious resource by saving water.'
Government water regulator Ofwat said: 'If possible, take a shower instead of a bath. A five-minute shower uses half the volume of a bath.
'Wait until you have a full load before using your washing machine or dishwasher.'
