Currently Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua are under level one water restrictions. Wellington residents are now being urged to store an emergency water supply over the holiday period as the capital could face the possibility of severe water restrictions.

What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.

Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.

Sew overalls' crotch repair

Steve from Northland

Hello Neighbours.
I squat so often I am constantly ripping my overalls in the crotch area.
Is there anyone local who can sew them solid for once?
I am so sick and tired of sewing them myself, only for them to rip yet again!
All offers welcome :-)

Created by founder Sarah Robb of @springwithsarah Christmas Connection is a heartfelt initiative designed to bring comfort and connection to those who may find this time of year challenging due to the death of a loved one.

This year we have teamed up with our friends at @endoflifeplanning.me so that Sarah's beautiful initiative can be delivered in Wellington as well as Christchurch and Auckland.

We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey by sharing a personal message to your loved ones who have passed away.

Your words will be etched onto wooden Christmas decorations, creating a beautiful and poignant memorial throughout December.

On Christmas Day, these heartfelt messages are ceremoniously burned in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, allowing them to be sent to your loved ones who have passed away.

Here is a reel to show you what it is all about, starting in Christchurch, Auckland and now in Wellington. www.instagram.com...

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
If you're in Wellington: Visit the below link to write your heartfelt message www.endoflifeplanning.me...

If you're in Christchurch you can pop into a library or use this link to pass on your message springwithsarah.com...

If you're in Auckland you can pop into the Grief Centre Birkenhead office, or email your message to them on christmas@griefcentre.org.nz
