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.

LOCAL COUNCILS IN THE DEEP END

The plight with deteriorating tap water and sewerage pipes in the Wellington region and the costs passed on in local taxes to ratepayers is a timely situation for local councils to be forced to reconsider what they are suppose to provide their residents.

In Upper Hutt, the council has gone ahead a forked out millions to upgrade its public swimming pool. The council seems bent on doing something similar to its central library.

I would say that rather than do this or even develop an elaborate swimming pool in the first instant, the UH Council should adhere to being providers of the basics to its residents - clean tap water, sewerage disposal, street lighting, pavements, roading and keeping its parks and reserves in order.

Of all these things mentioned as the basics - there is a falling and a failure in Upper Hutt, and this (apart from parks and reserves) is also occurring in Wellington, Porirua and Lower Hutt.
