You might be using more wet wipes to keep your home clean, but it’s very important not to flush them afterwards.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.

Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

Poll: Is there a spot like this that has been bothering you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A mystery sprayer has taken it into their own hands to highlight the state of a Hamilton road.

Obviously frustrated by Te Rapa Road’s condition, they’ve grabbed the yellow spray paint.
