Watercare is urging Aucklanders to reduce their water use by 20 litres per day until the end of March because this week’s storm has restricted the treatment capacity of the city’s largest water treatment plant. Water quality has not been compromised.

How much water is 20 litres?
Twenty litres will fill two buckets with water.
How can I save water easily?
1. Cut your shower time by two minutes: Approximate saving = 16 litres
2. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Approximate saving = 4 litres
3. Don’t use your toilet to flush rubbish. Approximate saving = 7 litres
4. Only run your dishwasher when it’s full.
5. Only run your washing machine when it’s full.
Around half of Auckland’s water is sourced from four water storage dams in the Hunua Ranges. This water is treated at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant. Currently, the Ardmore plant is treating 50 per cent less water than normal because the flow entering the plant from the dams contains a lot of silt due to slips and erosion in the catchment, giving it a muddy appearance and making it more challenging to treat.
Auckland War Memorial Museum has started a new programme in Mandarin Chinese language to introduce Maori culture to visitors. The Maori Cultural Chinese Experience is a 90-minute tour with introductions to Maori people, history, building, handcrafts and performances, with chances to take photos.

It was a beautiful event, held in the Hall of Memories at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Time is the enemy of us all, and sadly many of our vets have passed away in recent years. As one who spoke yesterday put it, they have "marched into the pages of New Zealand's military history".
Thank you to all of our veterans. Your sacrifices and bravery will not be forgotten.

The water storage dams in the Hunua Ranges are operating as normal, despite more than 240mm of rain falling within the past 24 hours.
Water supply manager Priyan Perera says the water levels in the dams rose significantly overnight, with Cosseys and Hayes Creek dams now full and spilling.

Water supply manager Priyan Perera says the water levels in the dams rose significantly overnight, with Cosseys and Hayes Creek dams now full and spilling.
“Cosseys Dam rose 17% as a result of this rainfall and is now spilling,” says Perera.
“When our dams reach capacity, they are designed to spill into an engineered spillway. When this occurs, the volume of water being released is simply reflecting natural flows.
“I’m aware that some local residents are concerned we are actively releasing water from the Hunua dams, resulting in downstream flooding. This is most certainly not the case. Unlike hydroelectric dams, our dams do not have release gates – as a water supplier, our aim is to store as much water as possible. The four large dams were not full prior to this event, meaning they have been able to capture and contain a lot of the water - minimising the scale of potential flooding downstream.”
The storm has not comprised the structural integrity of the dams.
The high volume of rain has affected the clarity of the water (turbidity) in the dams. This change in water quality means that Watercare must carefully managing the incoming flows and treatment processes at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant.
