Howdy all. Here at Wasp Wipeout we thought we'd give you some information on how to deal with the wasp that most populates urban gardens - the paper wasp.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.

Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.

At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here

If you want to find out more about paper wasps, you can read the story and watch the video here

Exploratory harbour bores project update — drilling resumes

The Team from Wellington Water

With the New Year, the harbour bores project has resumed its drilling programme with the barge and drilling rig Tuhora heading back out.

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.

With the New Year, the harbour bores project has resumed its drilling programme with the barge and drilling rig Tuhora heading back out.

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.

We’ve chosen this site based on data from the first bore site which indicated that whilst the Waiwhetu aquifer has treatable quantities of freshwater in a viable yield, there is potential for better results at a second site.

This site also allows us to triangulate results using data on water from the land-based bore on Somes, which also draws on the Waiwhetu aquifer.

The barge and drilling rig has had modifications to the leg bases to ensure stability in the softer sea bed conditions.

Local News

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.

The Team from Wellington Water

It's been a good start to 2018

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
