Myrtle rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga trees such as pōhutukawa, mānuka, kānuka and rātā. It also attacks feijoa trees.

Severe infestations can kill affected plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings. And it’s now in New Zealand – the first sighting has been reported in Kerikeri.
If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

It’s often mistaken for native toetoe, but invasive lookalike pampas grass can out-compete native vegetation, pose a fire risk and provide habitat for rodents and possums.
As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

It also ensures the water supply network has the capacity to handle the city’s future growth.
During this work, we will be temporarily isolating the Arch Hill Watermain, which serves Westmere, Grey Lynn, Arch Hill and Newton, in order to connect new pipes to the existing network. We will be using water from other parts of the Auckland network to supply these areas so no one will be without water during this work.
How will this work affect you?
• Between 11.30pm, Friday 5 May to midday on Saturday 6 May, some households and businesses in Westmere, Grey Lynn, Arch Hill and Newton may experience temporary discolouration to their water supply. We recommend you check the colour of your water before drinking, bathing or doing laundry.
• While discoloured water is safe to drink, you may want to store clear drinking water in clean bottles before the work begins.
If you experience discoloured water:
• Turn off the tap and phone us on (09) 442 2222. Our crews can then flush your street to clear your water supply.
• Avoid using the washing machine or the dishwasher until the water is clear. Discoloured water may stain clothes.
• We recommend you don’t use hot water if the cold water is discoloured, as this will fill your hot water system with discoloured water.
We apologise for any inconvenience this important work may cause.
For more information, please visit www.watercare.co.nz... and search for ‘Arch Hill’ or phone us on (09) 442 2222.

Our clinic offers a full range of services including hearing and tinnitus assessments and a hearing aid fitting service. A registered nurse offers an earwax removal service that will soon be extended to wider Auckland with a new mobile facility.
A new pilot project has been introduced to help fund hearing aids and provide support for low-income families. It provides a range of assistive listening devices such as phones, clocks and amplifiers, and repair. This will enable access and provide advice on government funding available through the Ministry of Health, ACC, Enable, Work and Income, and Veterans’ Affairs.
As an advocate on hearing issues since 1932, Hearing Auckland works to raise awareness of hearing loss and the need to protect hearing. Our staff will do workplace assessments. If you feel like we could help you, please get in touch. You don’t have to be a member to use our services.
