water restrictions in Brittany

Post by pachypach1 »

Today the prefecture has imposed restrictions because of the drought.
Here is the link:http://www.morbihan.gouv.fr/Politiques- ... du-28-4-17

It includes not filling pools;
"interdiction de remplir les piscines familiales à usage privé, sauf 1er remplissage de piscine neuve pour réception de travaux et conditions liées à la sécurité de l’ouvrage ou des utilisateurs"

Has this happened to anyone before with gites? Are the gites classed as piscines familiales or not?
Don't want to get a fine (we haven't yet opened up the pool)

I would have thought that if you are running the gites as a business then the pool would be seen as a essential element of the business and therefore exempt, but if you're not running it as a business then it would be a private pool in my opinion.
