The inspection is entirely precautionary.
We work with specialist engineers at Dam Safety Intelligence Ltd. to inspect the dam routinely as part of a safety assurance programme, and revisit it after any unusual events, such as the earthquake and flood event last month. Engineers tell us there are no safety issues with the dam wall.
We are preparing the area for geo-technical engineers to check the ongoing strength of the rock that the dam is built on and the connection with the abutments. People using the track will see we’ve removed some of the vegetation and soil around the rock so the engineers can do a thorough assessment.
We are looking to reactivate the control valves and reduce the water level behind the dam.
This is an historic site and a very popular walking track. We want to make sure it remains safe for the community and people can keep enjoying it.

Whether drugs was the issue or not, this woman should not have been killed by these people and I hope justice will come to the perpetrators - though real justice is seldom if ever, meted out in NZ.
Of course the police know a whole lot more than they are letting on and I believe they will make arrests soon.
The site where the BP Service Station use to be on Fergusson Drive, Upper Hutt is to become a bar and cafe.
The large disused property which in stages over the years became an eyesore is finally going to be usefully utilised.

A bar & cafe sounds reasonable and the site is pretty strategically placed for this kind of operation.
Hi there,
Any tilers out there looking for work over the holiday period?

I lost my old Galaxy S4 in Tocker St, Taita on Saturday afternoon. It has all the Chistmas photos of my only grandchild and my contacts for my daughter in England. If you have found it please can you return it for a reward. It has been blacklisted and suspended so is of no use to anyone now. … View moreI lost my old Galaxy S4 in Tocker St, Taita on Saturday afternoon.

I received a call this morning from someone sounded Asian who claims that our family won $5000.00 from John Keys awards

This guy said that this fund is for the chosen few, and I started questioning him on how he got our phone number, he kept telling me only a few people are getting this money because John Key has resigned. He wanted some details off me but I refused. When I asked to leave the number so I can call to verify this he paused and cut our conversation. He called on my land line and I can't get his number.
Please inform our families and especially the vulnerable ones not to get into this. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and may the Lord of All, bless you and your families.

It is unfolding day by day. as Trump, though still the President-elect, selects his horror cabinet and top advisers and makes his crass utterances and alliances.
A World War would impact heavily on Upper Hutt with the NZ defence force and army headquarters being sited in Trentham and Heretaunga. Nuclear overtones would also be a major threat.
We need to ensure that the NZ Government faces up to a Trump-led USA fairly and squarely. Bill English will be up to many hard decisions.
Hi. Is anyone selling guinea pigs? My mother-in-law is keen to buy some guinea pig babies for our boys for Christmas.
