Get Prepared - Store emergency water
New year, new you! Its time to start thinking about getting prepared in an emergency.
We have fabulous emergency water tank kits available for purchase. These will help with emergency water for your family, house mates and pets. In an emergency you'll need in water supplies for up to eight days for drinking, food prep and keeping clean – that's a lot of stored water!
WREMO and The Tank Guy have supplied us with 200-litre water tank kits, for sale at our service centres for just $105 – these are usually $265, so we think this is a great deal.
They come with everything you need to fit them to your downpipes, are UV resistant, and small enough to transport in most cars.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
