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.

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.

It is unsafe for crews to enter or work in the flooded area and Police have closed critical roads until at least 10pm tonight, when we will reassess the situation.
It's unlikely many of these residents will have power restored overnight and we are working with police to disperse that message into the community. In the meantime we're looking into options to survey the network situation out there, including aerial via helicopter.

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.
Watercare is asking Kawakawa Bay residents to minimise their water use today because extreme rainfall has flooded the local wastewater pump station.
Networks Manager Anin Nama says that by minimising water use, residents will reduce the volume of wastewater entering the wastewater network.

“Access to Kawakawa Bay is currently limited due to flooding and slips. Thankfully, we have the Fire Service assisting us with their pumps. But we really need the community’s support – please reduce your water use today by limiting bathing and laundry.”

Are you 65+, live in the Franklin Local Board area, and have a tale to tell about your life that might surprise a younger listener?
Linda Grigg has been an Accredited Visitor with Age Concern Counties Manukau for more than two years. The Franklin Local Board has approved a grant for an arts project Linda will be managing, called 'You Might Be Surprised to Know'. She says, "Often when society looks at an older person, that is all they see. They do not know the rich life experiences that person has had, and continues to have. By telling snippets of older people's life stories, this project aims to break those stereotypes and to remind us all of the uniqueness of every individual, and of their value to our communities, regardless of age."
Linda is seeking participants willing to be interviewed and photographed. The stories/photos will be published online (probably on Facebook) and in an exhibition to the public in June 2017. This is a voluntary project, so no payment will be made for the stories/photos.
If you are interested in being a participant or want to know more, please contact Linda on surprisedtoknow@gmail.com or phone 021 145 1304. Please note that interviewees must currently live in the Franklin Local Board area to be eligible to participate.
