Awesome work Wellingtonians, you have been keeping demand below 160MLD as you continue to #loveeverydrop.
Your gardens will have seen some love this week but this weekend is looking a bit dryer, so keep up the good water conservation work and let's remain below 160MLD.

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.
We’ve chosen this site based on data from the first bore site which indicated that whilst the Waiwhetu aquifer has treatable quantities of freshwater in a viable yield, there is potential for better results at a second site.
This site also allows us to triangulate results using data on water from the land-based bore on Somes, which also draws on the Waiwhetu aquifer.
The barge and drilling rig has had modifications to the leg bases to ensure stability in the softer sea bed conditions.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.
Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.
At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here
If you want to find out more about paper wasps, you can read the story and watch the video here

Good to see the rain outside. With demand creeping up yesterday, it's nice to know that our rivers will be getting a boost .
