Water Restriction Level 2
From 12:01am, Wednesday 17th January, Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt will move to level 2 water restrictions. All unattended watering systems will be banned, this includes household sprinklers and irrigation systems.
You will be able to water your garden by hand anytime, on any day, so long as you don’t leave your garden hose or watering device unattended.
This helps to limit water waste and helps reduce the risk of tighter water restrictions and further shortages.
Rain is forecast, but the amount expected is not enough to help the situation.

One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
