You’re invited to the proposed Aotea Reservoir open day!

The Team from Wellington Water

Porirua City Council and Wellington Water are proposing to build a new water supply reservoir in Aotea to:

• Help ensure Porirua’s water needs can be met in the case of a significant earthquake
• Reduce day-to-day water supply disruptions
• Provide for the future growth needs of the Porirua community.

The open days are your opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions and how to be involved in the application process.

We look forward to meeting you at Aotea College Library:
6pm – 9pm, Wednesday 11 April 2018
11am – 3pm, Saturday 14 April 2018

Parking is available on site. For disabled access, email us at poriruareservoirs@wellingtonwater.co.nz and we will ensure assistance is available.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI

Murray from Paraparaumu

This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.

We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.

Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.

November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
