Watercare is urging Aucklanders to reduce their water use by 20 litres per day until the end of March because this week’s storm has restricted the treatment capacity of the city’s largest water treatment plant. Water quality has not been compromised.

How much water is 20 litres?
Twenty litres will fill two buckets with water.
How can I save water easily?
1. Cut your shower time by two minutes: Approximate saving = 16 litres
2. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Approximate saving = 4 litres
3. Don’t use your toilet to flush rubbish. Approximate saving = 7 litres
4. Only run your dishwasher when it’s full.
5. Only run your washing machine when it’s full.
Around half of Auckland’s water is sourced from four water storage dams in the Hunua Ranges. This water is treated at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant. Currently, the Ardmore plant is treating 50 per cent less water than normal because the flow entering the plant from the dams contains a lot of silt due to slips and erosion in the catchment, giving it a muddy appearance and making it more challenging to treat.

It was a beautiful event, held in the Hall of Memories at the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
Time is the enemy of us all, and sadly many of our vets have passed away in recent years. As one who spoke yesterday put it, they have "marched into the pages of New Zealand's military history".
Thank you to all of our veterans. Your sacrifices and bravery will not be forgotten.
