Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

There are four levels of water restrictions. The strongest restriction bans all outdoor water use and encourages the reduction of indoor water use. This does not affect the Kāpiti coast area.
What you need to know:
- A level two water restriction means a ban will now be placed on irrigation and sprinklers, and gardens only being hand-watered, according to Wellington Water.
- Wellington, Porirua, Hutt City, Upper Hutt City and South Wairarapa have all since moved to a level two restriction.
- The decision was made due to “a very high demand” for water, peaking at 95 million litres on Tuesday, Wellington Water said.
- The region’s water treatment plants can only treat and supply a certain amount of safe drinking water on any given day. The increase in demand and the ongoing high number of leaks is putting pressure on the network and the ability to supply enough safe drinking water. Increasing heat may put further pressure on the water system.
- The restrictions only applied to residential properties but Wellington Water asked businesses across the region to take steps to reduce water usage where possible.
- Level four restrictions currently had a 33% chance of being imposed.
Please note, these restrictions do not apply to Kāpiti residents as water meters were introduced there in 2014, and the Waikanae River recharge scheme has aided this region.
