Eastern Bulk Water Main repair update
Eastern Bulk Water Main repair update 16.25PM 12/3
Hi Neighbours - we would like to thank residents for their efforts to conserve water in the past couple of days as we monitored the effects of the storm on our Eastern Bulk Main repair site.
We're glad to say the latest inspection of the site has shown our repair work to date has been effective in protecting the site during the heavy rain. As we look forward to some better weather, we now do not expect to need to shut down the main as a precaution. Monitoring will continue until the full repair can be completed in coming weeks.
We have lifted the request for urgent water conservation at this stage but remind people to be smart with water use. Once again, we appreciate the support from our community as we continue to respond to this, and many other issues following the rain event.
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!
Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?
The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.
This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
