Concerned farmer Donna Hintz, is bringing Sam Lang, Regenerative innovation and research collaborator, to Masterton to share what he’s learned from farmers, scientists and practitioners around the world that are pioneering new farming systems and practices.
Sam works alongside farmers, innovators, B+LNZ, Manaaki Whenua and Quorum Sense farming group to grow and support the transformation of our farm and food systems (and therefore the well being of our land and communities). He is also involved in climate change and agriculture conversations at a national level (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment & Generation Zero), and with our agricultural science system via the Our Land & Water National Science Challenge.

We have been made aware of a video on social media of Titahi Bay beach with comments of suspected wastewater pollution/sewage.
We can confirm there has been no discharge or overflow event from the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The video shows seaweed and sea foam, which is common following heavy winds.
We will be conducting tests in the area for reassurance, and will provide an update when these results have been received.

This is scheduled to take place tomorrow from 9:00am to 1.00pm.
The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend you fill up some containers with water before the time above and avoid running your dishwasher, washing machine or any appliances that use water. It is best not to use water from your hot water cylinder either as the cylinder may get damaged if the water level gets too low.
When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap slowly and let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system. Air can cause the water to turn a milky colour, but this won’t affect the taste and should clear quickly.
It will soon be time to have your say on who represents your community by voting in the 2019 local elections. Do you intend to vote?
