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.

Sew overalls' crotch repair

Steve from Northland

Hello Neighbours.
I squat so often I am constantly ripping my overalls in the crotch area.
Is there anyone local who can sew them solid for once?
I am so sick and tired of sewing them myself, only for them to rip yet again!
All offers welcome :-)

Hi all! This is a final re-post for anyone looking to book a last-minute cat/house-sitter in the weeks leading up to Christmas 😊

I'm a 21 year old student who will be staying in Wellington over the Christmas/New Year period.
I'm responsible, quiet, and I love cats! I currently have space before the 30th of Dec and after 4th Jan to house-sit. I can also check-in on your cat and feed them if that's all you need!

Please dm me for any enquiries, as my rates differ to suit your needs.

Your local cat, music, and book-enthusiast,
Olivia (:
