Laurie from Birchville

Having a little foresight I installed 2 plastic water tanks (200x 250ltr) several years ago. You can buy them for a low price from the council and a young chap at the top of Crystal Grove. You'll have water to feed your gardens and when boiled, you can drink the stuff. So stop complaining … View moreHaving a little foresight I installed 2 plastic water tanks (200x 250ltr) several years ago.

Let's keep demand below 160 MLD

The Team from Wellington Water

We've seen some awesome examples of people conserving water over the past week.

Demand has come down, and is currently below 160MLD.

We need more rainy days to get the river levels up, and replenish the water in our storage lakes.

So keep up the good work and encourage your neighbours… View more

Demand had a break over the Christmas/New Year period

The Team from Wellington Water

It's been a good start to 2018

With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.

There is still a ban on … View more
It's been a good start to 2018

With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.

There is still a ban on residential sprinklers and irrigation systems around the region.

We are not yet half way through summer, so keep encouraging your neighbours to #watcheverydrop.

We will be celebrating some of the communities this summer who #loveeverydrop, so keep your eyes peeled

Honey bees

We haven’t gotten up to have a look yet but there is a lot of activity happening out of one particular spot. We are hoping to have someone come in and get them moved on rather than harming them.
Thank you if you can help.

Thought we could have some fun and share a memory or two more;
Memory (from the musical 'Cats'.)
"All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again."

My New Years wish is simple. We should arrange with the council that rain should only fall between 1am and 3am every night. This would ensure we don’t have to water our gardens every morning and waste our precious water supplies. That should keep the council happy not having to allocate water from their limited resources. It would also mean a reliable vegetable growth and the economics of eating greens much more sensible. Have a good New Year!

I remember hiding in the bin and I was thrown into the truck before I was allowed to go free. Maybe Upper Hutt should reintroduce the old method because I would like to get a free trip to the Silverstream tip.

2 White single brolly sheets

Tania from Trentham

I have two white single brolly sheets that are no longer needed. They are in good condition, a mark or two that I haven’t been able to get out - probably felt that has transferred. These sheets normally retail for about $50 a piece.

Price: $40
