Let’s take a #LookInsideThePipes

The Team from Wellington Water

On the left, you’ll see a typical pipe taking wastewater to be treated at one of four treatment plants. But a few metres down, in the same pipe, there’s a blockage forming from fat being poured down drains, and sanitary products and wet wipes being flushed down the toilet!

On the left, you’ll see a typical pipe taking wastewater to be treated at one of four treatment plants. But a few metres down, in the same pipe, there’s a blockage forming from fat being poured down drains, and sanitary products and wet wipes being flushed down the toilet!

These nasty blockages are a nightmare for the wastewater network, and our crew has to clear them out, sometimes by hand.

The only way to stop them? Only flush the 3 P’s (poo, pee and toilet paper), and don’t let fats and oils down the sink 💩🚽🧻

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!

Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Please don't feed our cat

Phoebe from Newlands

Hello lovely neighbours,

Our cat Oscar has put in a lot of weight recently. Despite us putting him on a diet, he's not making any progress and we suspect somebody may be feeding him. He's almost a kilogram heavier than he needs to be so we are concerned for his health.

Hello lovely neighbours,

Our cat Oscar has put in a lot of weight recently. Despite us putting him on a diet, he's not making any progress and we suspect somebody may be feeding him. He's almost a kilogram heavier than he needs to be so we are concerned for his health.

Oscar is a light grey cat with pale tabby markings and no tail. He has no collar as he loses them quicker than we can buy them. If you are near Glanmire Road and Kenmore Street in Newlands and see Oscar, please don't feed him no matter how hard he begs.

Picture of fat cat attached for attention.

Thanks!

Phoebe
