Bingo! Drainage Serviceman Brent locates the head of a blocked wastewater main in Southgate with his metal detector.

The search started on CCTV when the team found tree roots blocking the main. After locating and uncovering the buried head, they got stuck in and cleared out the pipe with a hand-tool, as they were more than 50m ‘off road’ and their flushing truck was out of range.

Stay safe everyone. It’s a jungle out there!

If you can, check any drains near your home to make sure that they're clear of leaves and any other debris - this will help keep water off footpaths and properties 🍂🍁

Can you help us help our frontline this Easter?

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

Recreate a classic game in an unconventional format using Resene testpots to paint your own dominoes. Smooth rocks, like those found on the beach or in a river bed, work best for this project.

Take the kids out to search for ones that lay flat and are generally round or oblong in shape. If you don’t live near water, you should be able to get some from your local garden supply store.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find out how to create your own rock domino set.
