Keeping water flowing when an earthquake stops the taps

The Team from Wellington Water

Today we hosted a special event at Truscott park in Johnsonville to open the first of 22 community water stations, which form the foundation of our above ground emergency water supply network.

Today we hosted a special event at Truscott park in Johnsonville to open the first of 22 community water stations, which form the foundation of our above ground emergency water supply network.

The Minister of Civil Defence, Hon Kris Faafoi, mayors and representatives from the four councils, (Wellington City Council, Hutt City Council, Upper Hutt City Council, Porirua City Council) were in attendance to help open the first of the community water stations, and learn more about how they'll operate.

Wellington's drinking water supply network is vulnerable. Underground pipes and reservoirs could be badly damaged in a significant earthquake and as a result some suburbs could be without drinking water for more than 100 days.

Over the past 12 months we have been working with central and local government to develop an above ground emergency water network that will supply the more than 400,000 people across Wellington from day eight following a disaster.

It’s important to remember that following a major earthquake, the first thing people rely on is themselves and their families, so storing water is a must for every household.

You should have 20 litres of stored water for every person, every day, for at least seven days. That’s 560 litres for a four-person household. You may need to store more if you have unwell people, or small children in your home.

200 litre tanks (which are easy to install) can be purchased from your local council for $105.

Hello neighbours!
I am available for babysitting.
Some of you may know me as the wandmaker, I'm Sabina, I'm 27, I have a very fluffy cat and I'm great with kids. I have recently completed a CPR training event and I also know pet CPR so I've got that going for me. I've looked after children from 1 week old and would be happy to provide references. I tend to be available quite late notice and I live in Newtown and have a little scooter, so can travel to nearby areas. I'm also happy to travel a little further afield if you're able to provide transport or cover uber costs.
I charge $17.50ph and am currently available anytime except 8-13th July. If you need a babysitter, whether a late notice one-off or something more regular, please let me know ☺
