Covid-19 Update
As of 11.59pm last night Wellington has moved to Alert Level 4 for three days.
This follows the news of a positive COVID-19 case in Auckland.
As an essential service, our crews will still be out and about making sure that water services for Wellington are still running.
Our people will be using PPE and following physical distancing rules as much as possible. If you see our crews out and about, feel free to wave but please don’t get too close.
If you see a leak or have a problem with your water call your council as you normally would.
Public taps in Lower Hutt will also be closed in line with other public facilities.
Stay safe everyone!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
