Holiday water update 💧
Our dam levels are fine but it sure is dry out there. Please use water sensibly this summer.
Whau Valley Dam is at around 90% of its full capacity, and Wilsons Dam is at 99%. However rainfall has been low recently, so river levels are low and the District is "running on batteries" by taking water from these dams.
So it's time to shake off any heavy-use habits from the winter when rain water was abundant. Turn off taps when you're not using them (especially hoses), get leaks fixed promptly, and don't over-water gardens or lawns.
If you're leaving your house for more than a few days, turn off the valve by your water-metre. That's not only to cut down on slow leaks, but some insurance policies do not cover water damage in vacant houses unless the water has been turned off at the valve!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
