A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!
A relatively wet week last week meant that overall people around the region have been keeping demand below the 160 million litre per day (MLD) target which is awesome to see.

All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.
Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.
Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Right now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping!

The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.
"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.
