She is from the Czech Republic on a working holiday visa. Weather it be baby sitting or cleaning, she will do what ever. She is 27 years old. Her phone number is 02041960589.

Wellington Water continues to work on the Omāroro Reservoir Pipelines Project in Mt Cook, installing pipelines to connect the planned Prince of Wales reservoir to the city network and making our water supply more resilient to disaster and disruption.

The Pipelines Project is set for completion in mid-2020 and will affect traffic in the area as new pipelines are installed down Hargreaves Street and then into Wallace Street which is a major arterial road.

While every effort is being made to reduce impact on commuter traffic and disruption, this will cause delays and disruptions, but this is sometimes unavoidable due to the location of the pipes and for health and safety reasons.

Traffic information will be well sign posted. Please take care and follow directions, or use alternative routes avoiding the Mt Cook area.

We are working closely with residents in the area, and pedestrian access won’t be affected.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your cooperation in improving the city’s water infrastructure.

Poll: Have you ever challenged a parking ticket?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

If you’ve popped over to Mt Cook recently you might have spotted Wellington Water hard at work on the Omāroro Reservoir Pipelines Project.

The new 35 million litre Omāroro reservoir will more than double the city’s water storage supply to meet the demands of an increasing population in the inner city, as well as making sure we have enough water in the event of a disaster or disruption.

To enable this work to be done there will be stop/go system in place along sections of Wallace Street from 24-26 July between 9am-4pm to protect workers and the public while they upgrade local pipes. Please avoid the area if at all possible during these hours.

Safe, supervised pedestrian access will be maintained while stop/go is in place.
