Aaron Graham from Hataitai Family Barbers

We have installed an outdoor waiting area for those of you who want to practice some social distancing but really need a haircut, shave or beard. Did you know having a beard can significantly compromise the effectiveness of a mask as it stops it fitting tightly on your face?

How to stop Wellington moving...Part 57.

Andrew from Houghton Bay

One of the most innovative ways to bring our traffic to a standstill is the giant truck that now collects garbage during rush hour in the Newtown area on Thursday mornings. Guaranteed to make you at least ten minutes late. The John St / Tasman St mess is particularly spectacular!

Demand is still tracking pretty high for this time of year – just look at the level of demand this year compared to the past two years!*

Supply from rivers in Wainuiomata has dropped out, and now we’re using a lot more water from our storage lakes.

Lake usage has averaged about 41MLD over the last week, and levels have dropped 9% in the last week.

Catchments are still very dry, and there isn’t much rain on the forecast! Please continue to observe water restrictions until they come off, and of course, always use water wisely.


*These graphs indicate demand in Porirua, Wellington, Lower Hutt, and Upper Hutt.
