We'd always paid our quarterly bill by direct debit rather than paying through a fixed fee and charge based on our property valuation. After Council water section provided us with a detailed breakdown of our usage, right back to 2015, we realised that for the October quarter and all of this year for some reason our usage via the meter had shot up to about 4 times what we would have expected. Turning of every tap till showed the meter running reasonably fast which would indicate some sort of leak. We took to readings on Saturday morning, 1 1/4 hours apart - and the meter continued to run. So we've resorted to turning the toby off at the road - we have a rainwater tank which we can use water from for flushing the toilets, and a couple of taps are not mains pressure and toilets have header tanks on the roof for careful drinking/cooking water. A plumber is booked for tomorrow. We've also approached Council to ask if given that we had no idea there was a problem because they hadn't billed us for so long if some of the very large bill could be exempted. Watch this space. What I would say - how many Wellington households who pay their bills as part of the general rate have serious leaks that go completely undetected because people are not aware?

I have a small retaining wall that needs replacing and need the services of a Blocklayer to lay around 100 blocks. Is there anybody that can do a neat and tidy job? Any time over the summer to get the job done would be fine.
Does anyone have this booklet and would be happy to part with it? I got rid of my daughter's a while ago and she's not very pleased with me..Happy to pay something for it.

Hi all. Is there anyone nearby that can do sewing/alterations? I’d rather support local than a town store. I have a stretch dress that needs shortening please. Happy to pay 💰 Thanks
This Saturday from 4 pm - 9 pm we'll be at Miramar night market selling doughnuts and stuffed focaccia.
Outside of our area, I know but if we have anything left we'll put a post on social media and deliver to the Northern suburbs as we've been doing with other markets.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Hi,
My business picks up polystyrene from one of our computer monitor suppliers & I really dont want to take it to landfill. Maybe someone can find a good use use for it - art resource, insulation?
Free to good homes - take what you need.

We are humbled to receive this award as last financial year our team of volunteers rescued and redistributed nearly 350 tons of food and over 4,000 banana boxes of the necessities of life to pass on to clients working with our partner agencies for free.
It was a nice surprise which occurred a few days after our 11th birthday.
Its amazing that our charity started in our double garage 11 years ago after being inspired by the Inside Childhood Poverty by Bryan Bruce.
