Can anyone recommend a local business that can supply, and more importantly regularly service, a backup generator for home?
We’re not looking for anything big; probably 3000W+ inverter for the water pump etc when the power goes out.

We’re not looking for anything big; probably 3000W+ inverter for the water pump etc when the power goes out.
There’s plenty of generators available for mail order over the internet but I’m keen to get something that can be regularly serviced locally (so that it’s going to work when we really need it).
Tis the season... let's help make other's holidays more merry and bright.

This is a quote form my book- The Mind Mechanic- that came into my head after hearing of the eruption..
I felt could not be more fitting as we all process this devastation from the eruption of White Island.
"Whatia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei"
See the treasures… View moreThis is a quote form my book- The Mind Mechanic- that came into my head after hearing of the eruption..

See the treasures you value most dearly,and if you must bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain".
Aroha to all those who weep today.

However this morning the pump experienced an electrical fault, which means there is no water pumping from the bore and reservoir levels are going down. We have our team on site working on a replacement as fast as possible.
The total outdoor water ban is still in place, and the community is encouraged to continue with their water conservation efforts. If the township uses more water than we can supply from the low-manganese bore, we will have to use the other bores as well. That could mean the town’s drinking water becoming discoloured.

“On Monday evening, the pump on the township’s low-manganese bore faulted and is being urgently replaced. With no water being pumped the water reservoir reserves are going down."
Mayor Beijen said he had been advised that installing the spare pump could be done within a day, but until the reservoir levels have recovered and we know the replacement pump is working well, we must conserve water.
“It’s essential that the community immediately responds to this pressing need to conserve water. If the township uses more water than we can supply from the low-manganese bore, we will have to use the other bores as well. That could mean the town’s drinking water becoming discoloured.
“Although safe to drink, the water could lose its clarity due to the reaction between manganese and chlorine – we want to avoid discoloured water if we can.
“We’re addressing infrastructure replacement as fast as possible, and this is unfortunate timing of an equipment failure,” said Mayor Beijen.
Information on how to conserve water will be shared throughout the community – you can find out more at www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...
“We will update the community when more information is available,” Mr Beijen said.
Engineers at Martinborough's water plant are scrambling to install a spare pump after the main suppl…

This plant will take a year or two to flower but after that will flower consistently.
