Counties Power fault crews are on standby and ready to respond.
Counties Power General Manager Field Operations Dale Carline says the winds are now predicted to reach speeds of 95-105km/hr between 1-7pm today, which can result in power outages, especially when flying debris and unmaintained trees are involved.
“We urge all residents to take storm precautions by securing outdoor furniture, trampolines and other objects, store some water if you rely on a pump, check your gas bottle and torches and charge up your smartphone and tablets to stay up to date on the Counties Power Facebook site and website."
Outage information will be updated regularly on the Counties Power facebook page – www.facebook.com... or check www.countiespower.com... for the outages app. You can log a fault on the app or call 0800 100 202.
Please treat all lines as live and report any downed or damaged lines or electrical equipment immediately on 0800 100 202.
This is a timely reminder to please maintain trees and vegetation. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure vegetation is kept away from power lines. January’s large-scale power outages were mainly caused by trees or tree debris damaging power lines. More information can be found at www.countiespower.com....

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

It was a lovely sight seeing so many people get together, put on their dancing shoes and got their boogie on. We even had our Village Manager, Bruce Cullington, partake in the dancing, which always results in a roar of laughter and giggles. All in all everyone had a wonderful time and we can’t wait for the next social event!
