Water restrictions

Currently Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua are under level one water restrictions. Wellington residents are now being urged to store an emergency water supply over the holiday period as the capital could face the possibility of severe water restrictions.

What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.

Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.

As we bid farewell to this year, I’d like to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to everyone, as well as to share my hopes for a fruitful and bright 2024.

Amid all the festivities, let’s spare a thought for those facing financial stress, especially in light of cost of living pressures. It’s great to see ongoing support for local food banks, and my gratitude goes to donors and volunteers at organisations like Cannons Creek Community Pantry, St Vincent’s, and the Porirua Food Bank run by the Salvation Army. Their efforts have become even more crucial following the closure in April of St Anne’s Pantry. If you’re in a position to help, your donation can make a significant difference.

This scooter is old, the bits that can go rusty are going rusty and the stand piece has just failed. The grips are also getting old.

This scooter is old, the bits that can go rusty are going rusty and the stand piece has just failed. The grips are also getting old.
But the scooter does like to go fast and I have trouble getting it to let me go slowly around the house - it prefers a zooommming mode but luckily the brake works well. I think it is time I gave this away.

The foot length on the board is 35cm (fits an adult foot)
Top of handlebars to ground is 82cm and there are still two more options for raising the handlebars.

Our Generation / American Girl doll's Hairdressing / Car Seat Chair

Jenny from Titahi Bay

Genuine item.
In excellent condition and goes up and down.
Only the hair dryer and comb still remain with the chair.
I used the extended chair in the car as a car seat for the doll. It raised her to the perfect height for a seat belt to go across her and the chair.

Price: $10
