This project involves constructing:
- a 35 million litre buried concrete reservoir in Prince of Wales Park in the Town Belt
- connecting it to the existing water supply with a supporting new pipeline corridor along Wallace Street
- renewing of local water supplies, stormwater pipes and wastewater pipes in the area
We are currently working along Hargreaves St and Wallace St, installing the pipelines and constructing the new corridor along Wallace Street that will connect the reservoir to the network.
This month we went and had a look at how the works are progressing and took some snaps so you can see what we’re up to. These pictures from the work in Hargreaves St show some of the crew working in the chamber installing the new bulk water pipeline.

Anyone interested in a 1998 Nissan Bluebird for parts ? Up until a few weeks ago she was a great car and ran really well . Sadly however, the transmission has gone and I need to dispose of her.
The first market this year is this Sunday 20th October at Stella Bull Park (next door to the White Swan ) starting at 9am sharp to 1pm.
Get there early or miss the bargains
Having your beloved pet whisked away in the dead of night is every owner's worst nightmare. Thankfu…

My favourite wine from this year’s New World Wine Awards is the Tohu Single Vineyard Riesling and for many reasons! First, it’s delicious with a zingy acidity. Secondly, it has a great story - all wine should start a conversation and the people behind this wine and their governance of the land give you plenty of that. Lastly, the wine sums up what the New World Wine Awards is all about: helping customers discover new wines that surprise and delight.” And Bob Dunkerly from New World Thorndon’s pick is the Stoneleigh Latitude Marlborough Chardonnay. “It’s an excellent wine, with delicious stone fruit flavours. It’s very approachable for anyone wanting to give Chardonnay a try.”
Come into your local New World and explore the Top 50 Gold-medal winning wines – we have winners for every budget. Plus join us for complimentary wine sampling and try before you buy.

From 21 October, a one-way system will be in place with a detour route along Conclusion Street and Desert Gold Street.
Warspite Ave will be reduced to a single lane during the work, through the peaks and out of hours. This will result in significant journey time increase. Please find an alternative route wherever possible.

This variegated Geranium has attractive apple green leaves with cream crimped edge, and the flowers are double pink and white. I have seen a variegated Geranium with red single flowers. This one is unusual and very beautiful.

Name: Chelsea Gem.
I have had one growing in a pot for years happily, and does well in the ground also like most Geraniums.
Geraniums rather like the sun, and in a warm spot outside. perhaps under the eaves on the sunny side of the house, can grow through the winter .
This little plant is 14cms high and should double its height this year and throw out side shoots too. It should flower for you as well.
The plant for sale is in the blue pot.
I have not seen it for sale in nurseries.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
