Our crews are responding to a water outage in Te Aro.

This is affecting:
- 157-187 Vivian Street
- Walter Street
- Bute Street

Crews are working to repair this and get water back on as soon as possible.

Water is expected to be back on by 2.30pm. In the meantime, we have arranged for water to be supplied at 167 Vivian Street.

Residents are reminded to keep two metres distance while collecting water, only take what is required for their household, and to return home once water has been collected so our crews can safely get on with the repairs. We encourage residents to carry-out appropriate hygiene practices before and after collecting water.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this outage.

Director-General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield’s strong presence fronting updates about the COVID-19 pandemic, is an example of the importance of being able to command an audience, be an effective communicator, and speak with confidence.

Using self-paced learning, Toastmasters undertake an educational programme that promotes these competencies, and also teaches effective listening, thinking on your feet, leadership skills, and giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Amid lockdown, many of New Zealand’s Toastmasters clubs have transitioned to holding their regular meetings online to allow the continuation of personal and professional development while providing social interaction.
