power outage and hot water
I just rang Wel Network again regarding the hot water problem. The staff gave a very good and detailed explanation. Due to the power outage on tuesday night , the hot water cable are affected.There are 7 generators running and providing the power at the moment and they are working through each generator to fix the cable and once they get the power running , they will turn the power off for half an hour .If after half an hour, if the power doesn't come through, they advised to ring WeL Networks and inform them.For those who have no hot water, they wouldn't know if no one ring them . As I rang them at 8 am today, I am one of the place they will come around to turn on the cable once the generator around my area are fix. They will try to get the hot water going before the end of the day if possible. They will be working through the generator over the weekend too. Thought I share this information to everyone that was affected by the power outage and hot water problems
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
