No hose pipe ban here in the Jura mountains, but water is expensive and we are all on meters. We have installed 3 x 1000 litre water containers, and already had a 500 litre one + bought a electrical pump so we can transfer water from one to t'other (the initial one being under the down pipe). As we have a big roof, it fills up in no time when we have a downpour.
Officially (irrespective of the ban) you shouldn't top up the pond with tap water as it contains chlorine and possible fluoride- so if I can I always top up with rain water (I know, easier said than done).
