The Team from Hamilton City Council

Just a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, … View moreJust a heads-up that some homes in the Dinsdale/Nawton area may have some water pressure fluctuations in the next few days as we install new pumps at the Dinsdale reservoir. The work will improve consistency of supply for around 2000 homes, and we are replacing the two existing pumps with three, which means we will have better resilience in the network.

As we connect the new pumps to the network and flush the pipes there may be ‘sputtering’ of taps or the water may look a little cloudy as air works through the system.

A day with the dead: Life in the mortuary

Reporter Sunday Star Times

A beautiful insight into how the morticians at Waikato Hospital look after our loved ones:

In the visiting room, Garth Wright will lay a colourful blanket over the sterile hospital sheet that covers a corpse. It sounds silly, he says, but it makes the person look warm and comfortable.

A beautiful insight into how the morticians at Waikato Hospital look after our loved ones:

In the visiting room, Garth Wright will lay a colourful blanket over the sterile hospital sheet that covers a corpse. It sounds silly, he says, but it makes the person look warm and comfortable.

Before family arrive at the Waikato Hospital mortuary, he smooths any pain out of the face.

He leaves the curtains drawn and the door to the visiting room open to reduce the shock for the visitors. He welcomes them into the square little room and beckons them to sit next to the body. He says, "You can touch them, they're clean," and watches as they hold hands for the last time.
