Further to our Friday update, we wanted to inform you on what caused the contamination in the inner Wellington Harbour.
A fat blockage in the pipes along Brandon St was sending wastewater into the stormwater line via a constructed overflow. This was located and cleared on June 12.
Investigations also found wastewater joints that had come apart under Queens Wharf, which were attended to by June 15.

If washed down the sink, fats and oils can build up in our pipes causing blockages. It’s best to wait for fats and oils to cool then wipe them into the bin.

Can anyone please kindly recommend a reasonably priced power company?

One of the best things about winter is having mates around to catch up over some hearty snacks and the entertainment of a big game.

Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and impossible to fail Harvati quiche.

So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.
