Reservoirs begin to recover - keep saving water
We need everyone to try to reduce their water use by 50% this week so we can increase our stocks of clean drinking water. 💧
Two of our three water treatment plants are now operating at normal capacity but we still need time to increase stocks of clean water stored in reservoirs. Most reservoir levels dropped to 10-20% on the weekend when water treatment plants broke down and could not re-stock them.
Key reservoir levels as at 7:00am today:
Fairway Drive 33%
Kamo 39%
Onerahi 37%
Anzac 25%
Reservoir levels vary during a normal day and are constantly re-stocked by water treatment plants. We need to get them to around 80% full to be safe against another serious breakdown.

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