Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.
If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?
If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Crews are working to repair this and get water back on as soon as possible.
Water is expected to be back on by 2.30pm. In the meantime, we have arranged for water to be supplied at 167 Vivian Street.
Residents are reminded to keep two metres distance while collecting water, only take what is required for their household, and to return home once water has been collected so our crews can safely get on with the repairs. We encourage residents to carry-out appropriate hygiene practices before and after collecting water.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this outage.

We'd need you to be happy to be identified and photographed (from a distance). If you think you can help, please email senior journalist Andrea Vance on andrea.vance@stuff.co.nz.

He's done some work for me and is a fantastic and smart worker who is interested in anything: labouring, supermarket stocking, etc. He's a great guy, fully fit and well, and I highly recommend him but he's stranded with no income. Just hoping someone can help him get though a very difficult time. He's valid to work till Feb 2021. Feel free to call me: 021 784557.
Thank you.
