Omāroro Reservoir Update
In light of ShakeOut, New Zealand's national earthquake drill, we thought we would share the progress of one of our milestone projects; Omāroro Reservoir. 👷
The Omāroro reservoir project is one of the ways Wellington Water is working to make our water network more resilient in the event of disruption or disaster. The new 35 million litre reservoir is set to more than double Wellington City's stored water supply. Our crews have been hard at work and resurrected 34 walls and one column in recent weeks. You can see the sheer scale of the reservoir walls in the photos below! 🏗
Remember, after a big shake the pipes could be broken and while our crews work to repair them you'll need to rely on your emergency stored water supply. We recommend 20 litres of water per person, per day. 💧

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
