Reporter Kapi-Mana News

As the council continues the city centre revitalization we were wondering what Porirua people want to see?
Are there any shops you feel are missing in Porirua? How about restaurants? What would attract you into the area where the canopies used to be?

It's been awesome to see so many people looking after and loving our water over the (hot) past few days.

To celebrate these awesome people, and to make the most of being outdoors in the sunshine, we thought it was the perfect time for a rock hunt.

We've hidden some #loveeverydrop rocks around Lower Hutt, and if you find one and bring it in to Wellington Water's office and you will receive a prize.

So put your explorer boots on, slap on some sunscreen, and get hunting around the Lower Hutt region as there are only 10 to be found.

Over the next few weeks we'll be hiding some rocks in Porirua, Wellington and Upper Hutt, so keep your eyes peeled to find out when the rocks are in your region.
