Hi neighbours.
How is life in your bubble?
Not going to lie I am enjoying a quieter life and spending a lot of time with my family. Often it is family time that I have to sacrifice with working a lot of after hours and Sundays, so while not ideal circumstances I am grateful to be locked in a house with my wife, 3 kids, 3 cats and 2 dogs.

We have been answering a lot of questions about "what will Real Estate look like after lockdown?"
Some of the more common questions have been answered in the latest update attached.

If you are finding your bubble too big or small then feel free to reach out for a chat.

From our bubble to you buble, we wish you and your family a happy Easter in your own private bubbles.

Steve and Family

Clear leaves away from stormwater drains before heavy rain

The Team from Wellington Water

Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding 🌧🍂

So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.

Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding 🌧🍂

So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.

You can help to reduce the amount of flooding by giving the drains in your street or on your property a sweep every now and then.

Easter weekend is looking a bit wet, so while you’re at home during this lockdown, why not get out and clear leaves and rubbish from on and around stormwater sumps?
