Omāroro Reservoir Update
In light of ShakeOut, New Zealand's national earthquake drill, we thought we would share the progress of one of our milestone projects; Omāroro Reservoir. 👷
The Omāroro reservoir project is one of the ways Wellington Water is working to make our water network more resilient in the event of disruption or disaster. The new 35 million litre reservoir is set to more than double Wellington City's stored water supply. Our crews have been hard at work and resurrected 34 walls and one column in recent weeks. You can see the sheer scale of the reservoir walls in the photos below! 🏗
Remember, after a big shake the pipes could be broken and while our crews work to repair them you'll need to rely on your emergency stored water supply. We recommend 20 litres of water per person, per day. 💧
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
