water restrictions
The Wellington Hutt Valley area is now under water restrictions. This has even made front page news in the “post” recently and national news. What people don’t seem to realise this has been going on for years. At the start of spring each year, water restrictions are put in place It's not a new thing.
It has nothing to do with the level of Te Marua lakes, Hutt river flow, or Waiwhetu Aquifer levels. It's been a wet winter. Ask the management of Wellington Regional Council why it is in place they won't be able to justify it. It's just something they do each year. Other districts that really do have water shortages in summer put restrictions on in late February. Never before December
It's sad that management seems to think this is the only way to manage water supply. Oh, I forgot water meters will also do it ! Then they don't have to worry about leaks

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.2% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
