I just want to ask that you watch out for the pheasants that we have hand reared. They are out and about around Norfolk Road and several people have told us how much they enjoy seeing them. They are young birds and if they turn up at your place they are probably looking for something to eat. There are two different breeds and we'd really appreciate help protecting them. Thanks.
This may look like a waste of water, but it’s sometimes better to release a little bit out rather than turn off water to the whole street.

Here we have Water Serviceperson Rapata replacing a broken toby. Rather than turning off the water, he diverted the flow away from the affected house for a few minutes while he did the job.

Would anyone have plastic plant pots they want to get rid of ? I had heaps and gave them away a while ago . Now I find I need more, small ones mainly. Happy to pick up.
What’s better than a new planter box?
One that serves as a place to stash plant pots or tuck a hose out of sight too.

And observe the Below Government instructions
At Alert Level 2 public venues (e.g. museums, libraries, cinemas, gyms, swimming pools, amusement parks, and farmers’ markets) can open, if they can do so safely.
There is no numeric limit on how many people can be in a public venue at any given time. However, they will need to put measure in place so that:
different groups can keep at least 1 metre distance from each other, and
a contact tracing register is kept.
If the public venue is very large or wide spread (for example a farmers market), and contact tracing isn’t practicable, it’s still OK to operate as long as different groups can keep at least 2 metre distance from each other during their interactions.

When left alone in your pipework for an extended period, water can become stagnant and while it's still safe to drink, it may taste unpleasant, so it’s a good idea to run the tap for a while to make sure you have fresh drinking water.

If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.
Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).
Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!
We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).
