Metropolitan Wellington to ease sprinkler ban, watering restrictions remain

From today, 31 March, the ban on using garden sprinklers in Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua is lifted.
The four cities have been under a sprinkler ban that was introduced in mid-February due to particularly dry conditions.

Thanks to the response from the community, and the change in season, the region’s storage lakes are now in good shape.

This means restrictions can now be eased to allow for the limited use of garden sprinklers and irrigation systems. This is a good position to be in, but it’s important that people keep being responsible with water usage.

Watering restrictions are still in place, these allow the use of a single sprinkler or irrigation system, between the hours of 6-8 am and 7-9pm only on alternate days according to your house number.

Sprinkler use is permitted at:
• odd-numbered houses on odd dates (1st, 3rd, 15th etc)
• even-numbered houses on even dates (2nd, 4th, 18th etc)
only between the hours of 6-8am and 7-9pm.

This restriction level will remain in place until further notice, or the end of Daylight Savings (5 April 2020) – except in Upper Hutt, where this restriction remains in place all year round.

WHAT A STAR .        I have discovered a wasp nest in the bank at our back door after having been bitten twice in the last week by wasps. In the past I have used a wasp killer powder which is very effective, but don’t have any. Does anyone have some I can buy off them? I’m happy to collect from a Karori letterbox as I can’t get any under lockdown scenario. Thank you neighbours for helping me out.

Sharing of items between households at this time of lockdown

Pamela from Berhampore

Kia ora everyone
I just heard an interview on Radio NZ with Dr Siouxsie Wiles just after 11am today Tues 24 March. The recommendation was not to share any items between individual household groups of people at this time of being in isolation in order to help contain spread of the Covid 19 virus.

Offering to sharing items or give away things between neighbours might seem a generous thing to do but is really not advisable at this time.

I stress however that I am not an expert. Please listen to the interview online for yourself. Stay safe.
