Summer demand update
Demand is still tracking pretty high for this time of year – just look at the level of demand this year compared to the past two years!*
Supply from rivers in Wainuiomata has dropped out, and now we’re using a lot more water from our storage lakes.
Lake usage has averaged about 41MLD over the last week, and levels have dropped 9% in the last week.
Catchments are still very dry, and there isn’t much rain on the forecast! Please continue to observe water restrictions until they come off, and of course, always use water wisely.
*These graphs indicate demand in Porirua, Wellington, Lower Hutt, and Upper Hutt.
Recycling bins
Once again the usual people are putting their bins out without securing the lids , bloody rubbish all over . Please use your brains and get one of the rubber clips , next time I screw the damn lid down then at least we know your recycling is still at your place
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
