Much has been said about water leaks and water meters but little about future water supplies. The only reference that I have noted was in 'The Post' on Sat 3rd Feb.

The only reference that I have noted was in 'The Post' on Sat 3rd Feb. The article refers to the suggestion that a dam be built on the Whakatiki Stream. This is a no no in my book for the reasons in my attached notes on the subject. GWRC has bought land at Kaitoke for off storage lakes and has done nothing about building them. Be interested to see what others think.
Please read my attached comments. I also ask the question. Has GWRC sold the building in Wakefield St that was considered an earthquake risk?

Every day at least one child falls off a bike or scooter while riding along the footpath. And which area of their body is most likely at the receiving end - their knees of course.
There is pain, crying, tears, bruises and sometimes blood.
What to do as a preventative measure? Knee pads of course. The kind kids use for skate boarding.
My wife disagrees. Who would wear them? They get in the way if they want to visit the playground and wearing knee pads would interfere in riding a bike riding she says.
What do you think?

Whilst millions and millions of dollars from rates have gone on sports facilities and an upgraded public swimming pool we didn't really need/could do without, our basic water supply to residents is drying up and draining away from a pipe system that has been in a dire state for years and years.
Has any councillor including Mayor and Deputy Mayor past and present alerted the city and us in the city to this and thus opposed any major non-emergency undertakings by Council?
Has any staff person or Council-contracted company or individual made serious overtures to the mayor and his Councillors over the years as to the state of play as the Council ticked-off another non-urgent, not really required amenity completed or on its way to construction?
Mayor Wayne Guppy seemed genuinely shocked that Upper Hutt is the worse-off area in the region for a leaking water supply system in a region that is harbouring such a severely serious and expensive issue. At first - only a couple of months age - Guppy just wouldn't accept the assessment.
Meanwhile a 24/7 water leak in busy Ward Street which went unfixed for almost 4 months, has now been seemingly repaired. Perhaps it was just a faulty or disintegrated toby.
Heads should roll over this.
There are two of these courses in the Lower and Upper Hutt area coming up in February. See the attached flyer and book your space now.
This is a great day out, includes a free lunch and contains useful information on staying safe as a Senior road user.
Thanks to all those people who contacted The Post with stories about leaks.
We are running a live blog so please keep sending pictures and videos.
