Above-ground emergency water network update
Work is beginning today on installing a community water station at Berhampore Nursery, Wellington.
Right now we’re constructing several of the 22 water stations around the region.
Our teams got together with Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) and the four city councils last week to develop operational plans for distributing water from these sites.
A visit to our pilot site at Korokoro was a great opportunity to view equipment, and gave councils more insight on how the emergency water supply will work.
For more information about where the water stations will be and how they will operate check out wellingtonwater.co.nz...
Remember, the water stations will only operate from day 8 following an earthquake.
For the first 7 days you will be relying on your own stored water at home. You need 20 litres of stored water for every person, every day – for at least 7 days.

Desperately seeking bottle fed calf as friend for ours.
Hi, we have 1 very lonely calf which was abandoned by its mum. We are looking for a companion calf, still being bottle fed so our wee one isn't alone. This is urgent. Thank you.
