Water Rates
Hi everyone
I have a question or two??? How does one read a water rates bill? I rent and i tell you what. I have had varying accounts of water bills. I can't seem to get my head around them. I think i do need to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I have asked my property manager to please explain and don't really get much sense from there. I do know that the fixed amount is paid by the Land Lord. But the rest is mumbo jumbo to me. It tends to go up and down like a yo yo. I also know that the water meter is read and estimated. But what i have a problem with is that watercare in doing so helps themselves when its estimated to quite a bit of your funds which i think that they think that you have a money tree out back specially for them and charge you heaps and then the next thing you know you go into credit??? what the hack. Credits fine but they have my money. What do you guys think and who can figure this thing out for me. Thanks all. Julia

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
