We have considerable challenges to maintain our current network and be prepared for growth. Maintaining a balance between delivering affordable, clean and sufficient water must be balanced with ensuring our take does not adversely affect the eco-systems of the relevant waterways or result in environmentally harmful discharges.
Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.
Here are a few shots of our beekeeper collecting our honey from Wellington's hills. This is where our honey comes from. Note the dark frame will be manuka honey the light one possibly will be clover.
All of our programmes have a focus on team-building, learning to work through challenges with others.

I am posting this on behalf of my husband's colleague who is here on a 3-year contract. They are looking for a 3-bedroom home to rent in Wellington. Here is their bio:
We are a German family of 4, mum Romy, Dad Mario, Elina 6 and Millie 1. We recently moved to New Zealand from Cambridge UK, where we lived for the last 3 years. We enjoy being away from home and thought why not moving to New Zealand whenever there would be an opportunity and here we are, enjoying our first few weeks very much. Mario works as a research fellow at GNS Science and VUW and Romy is currently at home until the girls are both settled in school and kindergarten. We are an open minded, easygoing and very social family and very experienced in renting homes, whoever is looking for nice tenants who will take good care of their home, will most probably be happy with us. :)

The only one of the 'panel' on stage that didn't come across as a total imbecile was the only lady - her first name was Brenda but I didn't catch her second. It was interesting to know that the question over the Newlands Volunteer Fire Station was first mooted in 1993, again in 2007 and of course again in 2019 when the WCC has decided it wants to build a toilet? Go figure! What the hell has been happening since 1993 and now? Brenda said 3 options were mooted - a) Close & dis-establish Newlands VFB, b) Build elsewhere in Newlands or c) the preferred option by the Fire Service - join with Johnsonville. By the way how the hell are they going to build an extension to the J/ville fire station to accommodate the Newlands Fire Engine? It reeks of total stupidity similar to Peter Gilberds idea that he was going to widen Batchelor Street to accommodate the extra cars parked there due to the intensive infill housing in Batchelor/Atkinson Streets! Brenda also asked what is the forecast growth in the Newlands area - the Fire Service could only come up with historical growth forecasts and what they learned from their 'models' - perhaps they should wake up and get with the current trends which indicate Newlands is growing faster than anyone imagined possible!

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!
Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

If you live in the area and your tap water is a bit off colour this morning please call council and let them know.
This can happen as a result of a burst, but be assured your water is safe to drink.
Great work from our operational team to get that midnight burst fixed so quickly!
