Wellington Water Suburb of the Week - Timberlea
After a pretty hot week last week, some #waterlovers emerged from the suburb of Timberlea in Upper Hutt to take out the suburb of the week title.
Keep up the good work Hutt Valley - two weeks running. Can a Wellington or Porirua suburb take out the win this week?
Our top #loveeverydrop water saving tip for the week is to group plants in your garden into high or low water users, you can then design a watering pattern that is better for your plants and one that will also reduce the amount of water wastage.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
