Unfortunately, I am still looking to get another 100-150 responses to meet what I think is solid validation. The criteria is as follows: If anyone is located in Wellington or travels to Wellington occasionally, it would be much appreciated if you could fill in this short survey. This will enable me to accurately validate if this business concept is worth pursuing. There is a description of the business and example on the opening page and then 3 short main questions with the opportunity to leave your comments and or email. I'd love to make this thing work, so fingers crossed. You can message me or comment on here if you have some questions but there is a feedback form in the survey. Thanks to all of you in advance for your help (Please share if you can).

Note, I have used Polldaddy for the survey:

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.
