Boil water notice - Featherston

The Team from Wellington Water

All drinking water in Featherston must be boiled before drinking or using for food preparation or dental hygiene, due to the interruption of supply to Featherston following this morning’s outage.
Babies, young children, the elderly and people who have compromised immune systems are more at risk of illness. If you get diarrhoea, vomiting and/or a fever contact Healthline (0800 611 116) or your doctor.

How to boil water for drinking:
Boiling will kill all disease-causing organisms.
• Bring water to a rolling boil (where bubbles appear in the centre and do not disappear when the water is stirred) for one minute
• Cool water (do not use ice cubes to do this) and pour into clean container with a lid
• Refrigerate until needed

This boil water notice is in effect from 10am Friday 19 June until further notice.

For more information contact South Wairarapa District Council at 06 306 9611 or go to wellingtonwater.co.nz.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
