Have you been for a walk along the Hutt River recently, near Queens Drive, and noticed the new water treatment diversion outlet?

This outfall is part of the construction around the pipeline for ultraviolet (UV) treatment at Waterloo. Water that cannot be treated by UV at Waterloo is diverted and discharged into the Hutt River at this outlet.

Work around the pipeline is nearly complete. Roads works around the CBD/central residential area finished in early January 2018. There are still some minor activities taking place until the end of January around the Waterloo treatment plant, as we finish the final stages of the pump upgrades.

For more information about the UV pipeline check out wellingtonwater.co.nz... and don't forget to check out the info sign by the water treatment diversion outlet next time you're walking by the Hutt River (near Queens Drive).

Question about end of tenancy

Lynne from Epuni

If a landlord gives you notice to move that is less than the lease agreement, citing he is moving in, is there a legal amount of time that he has to reside in the property? I understand that should the property become available to rent again he should offer it to the previous tenants. Any advice … View moreIf a landlord gives you notice to move that is less than the lease agreement, citing he is moving in, is there a legal amount of time that he has to reside in the property?

Lonely chicken needs a home

Jennifer from Belmont

I have a hyline brown about 3 years old, last survivor of our small flock. This last one seems depressed to be on her own and needs other chickens for company.

She comes with about 5kg grain and I'll throw in the chooketeria and water feeder … View moreI have a hyline brown about 3 years old, last survivor of our small flock.

Hello to all Neighbourly Citizens, Community and Whanau. Yesterday I took my partner and grandson to the Avalon park and I took my dog for a long walk and ended up at the Fairway Drive side where the duck pond is and saw people meditating. Its known as Falun Dafa/ Falun Gong.
Falun Gong or Falun Dafa is a modern Chinese spiritual practice that combines meditation and qigong exercises with a moral philosophy centred on the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. I was quite fascinated. So I had to ask. I was informed that they are there every Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm. It cost nothing and its to learn about meditation etc. So every Saturday that I go for my walk along Taita drive and around the riverside path back towards the duck pond I will be there in time to start this. I've just started a fitness routine and this would be a bonus. So feel free to come. Have a look or join in. Thanks neighbourly
