Big stink for Island Bay

Reporter Community News

Island Bay residents are being told to expect three months of foul odours due to maintenance work on a major sewerage pipe.
It’s another kick in the guts for a community that suffered through months of the “overpowering” stench of sewage after extensive damage was found in a pipe deep beneath Wellington in 2020.
Two four-metre-deep excavations will be dug into the road at the corner of Adelaide Rd and Dover St, so crews can remove, refurbish, and reinstall valves on a large sewerage pipe.
The work, which began on Monday, will continue until early July. Traffic is not expected to be impacted, but residents in the area received letters warning there may be construction noise and odour.

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
