This is because all waters are plumbosolvent, which means they can dissolve very small amounts of metals if they come into contact with them.
Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington drinking water is described as ‘soft’ water, because there is less calcium and magnesium content. Soft water is slightly more acidic than hard water, and as a result it dissolves metals more easily/quickly.
In New Zealand, the plumbing materials/fittings (i.e. your taps) which come in to contact with water are usually the source of heavy metals, such as lead, nickel, cadmium, copper and antimony.
When you turn a fitting off there may be a small amount of water left sitting in it. Whilst our treatment processes adjust the pH to reduce the water’s aggressiveness on pipework, there is the potential that water sitting in a plumbing fitting, if unused for several hours, may accumulate minute traces of metals.
Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health drinking water standards recommend that you flush a mugful of water from your drinking-water tap each morning before use. This should remove any water that was left in your fittings, and metals that may have dissolved from the plumbing fittings.
All households are advised to take this precaution, whether they are on public or private water supply.
For further information you can contact the Drinking Water Assessment Unit of the Wellington Regional Public Health Service, phone 04 570 9002.

While countless gardeners around the world are stripping off to tend to their flower beds and vege patches, falling temperatures across NZ have led to calls for the Southern hemisphere to have it's own naked gardening day in spring, when it's a bit warmer. So what do you think?

Well, there's gotta be away. But how?
One of our most important pieces of advice for couples is to create Rituals of Connection, which are predetermined activities that you and your partner choose to do together:
Go for a short walk every morning, or have breakfast together.
Have a stress-reducing conversation in the evening.
Make a monthly date night at your favourite restaurant.
Or even spend five minutes before bed saying thanks for things you've done to support each other.
It doesn't really matter what you choose to do, as long as both you and your partner enjoy it, agree to it, do it regularly and consistently, and find that it brings you closer together.
Create as many rituals as you'd like, both big and small. Once those rituals are built into your lives, then you'll have created reliable ways for you and your partner to connect.
We have loved these friendly egg machines for the past couple of years.
They are gentle birds.
We need a constant supply of eggs for guests staying in our accommodation and these girls are not all, laying an egg every day.
Some days 8 and some days 4.
We would like them to go to another happy home.

Council has attempted to have the owner strengthen the building for a number of years. The 2016 Kaikoura quake and the growing scientific work around quake-prone buildings, and a lack of action on the owners part, prompted Council to take court action as a last resort.
