Hi Auckland,

What are your water-saving hacks?

Water restrictions for the city are to remain in place until August, and similar bans on water use may return next summer.

Watercare is set to ask council to remove restrictions on outdoor water use, if rain forecasts, the state of the region’s storage lakes, and a new supply boost all eventuate as hoped.

Watercare said Aucklanders had significantly cut water use, and the biggest supply boost – another 50 million litres a day from the Waikato River – should be available from August.

Presently, Auckland's dams are 51.4 per cent full compared with an average of 76.6, and Auckland's water usage is more than 10 per cent lower than Watercare had estimated.

Share your saving tips below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used in your local community paper.

Covid-19: Can I get the Covid vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Unsure whether you can get the Covid-19 vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?

Unsure whether you can get the Covid-19 vaccine and the flu jab at the same time?

Here's your answer neighbours:

People wanting to get both the flu jab and a Covid-19 vaccine heading into winter will be required to leave a two-week gap between the vaccines.

And those receiving a measles (MMR) booster will need to leave a four-week gap between the Pfizer vaccine and the MMR jab when MMR is given first, under advice from the Ministry of Health.

This is because having a gap between different types of vaccinations – especially considering the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine is still “relatively new” – helps authorities be sure about any side effects that may occur.

The country’s flu and Covid-19 vaccine roll-outs are both due to ramp up from May, with the influenza vaccine becoming available to under 65s, and the Covid-19 vaccine rolling out to approximately 1.7 million people in group 3.

Tomorrow morning Wednesday 28th April we are planting trees on the Half Moon Bay Reserve the entrance is from Half Moon Rise. The council have purchased the 200 trees and we really need more help to plant these trees.
Maybe you have teenagers on holiday who could do a couple of hours of community work. Maybe you don't want to see this reserve lost to housing. We fought very hard in the 1970's to stop houses being built on here and we need to show the council that people in this community are using the reserve and are willing to help.
If possible bring a spade and wear covered shoes. Or just come and carry the trees to the planters. Ring Jeanette at 0274984764 for more details or turn up tomorrow any time between 8.30 and 11 am.
WE REALLY NEED YOU
