We need to continue conserving water šŸšØ

The Team from Wellington Water

We are doing well with keeping usage down in Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington, but we need to keep going!
We are on the brink of needing to move to a total outdoor water ban, but with sustained effort, and rain expected in the forecast, we may be able to keep this at bay.

If the rain doesnā€™t come next week we may be in trouble so, If we donā€™t continue to act, the restriction level will have to increase.

Please:
šŸ‘‰ Only use hand held watering devices outdoors on alternate days between 6-8am, and 7-9pm
šŸ‘‰ Donā€™t use sprinklers, irrigation systems or unattended hoses until further notice.

Alternate days: even numbered properties on even numbered dates and odd numbered properties on odd numbered dates.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! šŸ˜±

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Shona McFarlane Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. Itā€™s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
