Tawa Watermain Renewal

The Team from Wellington Water

We are getting under way with replacing a watermain pipe in Duncan Street, Tawa. This work will take about 20 weeks from 28 August 2019 to Mid-January 2020. Hours of work will generally be 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary. The construction work will largely be undertaken within the road reserve within Duncan Street.

Traffic management is changing throughout the project and we will continue to advise each major change of traffic management.

On 28 August, southbound traffic on Duncan Street will be detoured around the worksite via Tawa Terrace to the Tawa Street roundabout (red arrow). Northbound traffic will be one-way from the Tawa Street roundabout to the Tawa Terrace intersection (green arrow).

While work areas will be fenced off, we will make sure that you have access to your property at all times. There may be occasions when the contractor needs to gain access to your property although we’ll give you at least 24 hours’ notice of this. If you have any concerns with access, you can contact our project team anytime. On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and so we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas.

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
