After a pretty hot week last week, some #waterlovers emerged from the suburb of Timberlea in Upper Hutt to take out the suburb of the week title.

Keep up the good work Hutt Valley - two weeks running. Can a Wellington or Porirua suburb take out the win this week?

Our top #loveeverydrop water saving tip for the week is to group plants in your garden into high or low water users, you can then design a watering pattern that is better for your plants and one that will also reduce the amount of water wastage.

Hi neighbours,

Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!

The scooters have already been launched in Auckland and Christchurch, and now Lime are in talks with Wellington City Council.

Some people are in support of the scooters, others have found a way to make extra pocket money from them, and even singer Taylor Swift was apparently spotted on one in Auckland recently. But the scooters have also caused controversy as one model has already been recalled.

So what are your thoughts on the scooters? Do think they'd be a great way to zip along the Wellington streets? Or are they an accident waiting to happen? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!
