Following a dry 2019, the region saw a record 40 days with no rain in January and February, paving the way for water restrictions that would continue into December.
Despite the restrictions and Aucklanders being the most efficient water users in New Zealand, the dam levels are still low and Watercare is asking everyone to try and save 20 litres per day.
We’ve put together a list of easy ways you can save water around your home, as well as a few ideas for if you’re willing to go the extra mile.

Please use the new shoe-cleaning stations to scrub and spray your shoes to ensure that we keep kauri dieback away and keep the track open.
The attached map shows the status of all of the tracks in the Eskdale Reserve Network:
* 🟩 Green: Open (please use shoe-cleaning stations where available).
* 🟨 Yellow: Temporarily closed for upgrading (due to open in March 2021).
* 🟥 Red: Permanently closed.
* 🟦 Blue: New track under construction.
* 🟪 Purple: Future stages of trackwork. Some of these have had work done already, but require more to bring them up to the new kauri dry-track standard.
Bike-cleaning stations will be installed in the new year.
Please do not go into any areas that are fenced off.
Please also wash dog paws 🐾 with the provided water. Dogs are allowed off-leash at Eskdale Reserve Network, but must be under control (eg: voice control) at all times, and please stick to the tracks as dogs can also spread kauri dieback spores.

The lanes will be closed for resurfacing and other maintenance from Boxing Day for up to ten days. This closure will affect the Shelley Beach off-ramp with access controlled by a stop/go managment system.
Motorists are encouraged to use the Western Ring route if there are delays on the bridge. Three lanes will be open to traffic in both directions says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Auckland System Manager, Andrea Williamson.
“The resurfacing process on the bridge requires 3-5 days to “cure” before allowing traffic on it, so while it may look as if nothing is happening the team will be using the lanes closure for other maintenance tasks, including water blasting and painting just below the road deck.”
Motorists are advised to check Waka Kotahi's social media sites for any updates on the lane closures during the 10 day period.

The sharp-eyed operator spotted the man's missing wallet containing $770 cash on the kerbside while collecting bins on Auckland's North
Shore.
The company tracked down the owner and returned his wallet.
To reward her vigilance, the relieved householder treated the truckie to lunch and gave her a $100 gift certificate.
Auckland Council waste collectors carry out nearly one million kerbside collections each week.

But at 93, the long-serving priest has become a published author during the final throes of his life.
Bugler has been a parish priest for 62 years and is thought to be one of New Zealand’s longest-serving priests, with stints at many parishes including Milford and Takapuna.
His memoir, A Song to be Sung, documents Bugler’s life from a quiet boy living in poverty in rural Ireland, to becoming a well-loved and widely-followed Catholic priest in New Zealand.
