Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

A few days ago we posted about some research on values that guide Maori leaders.

Continuing with the theme of cross-cultural approaches to leadership, here's an overview of more research findings that show leaders are influenced by the geographical areas in which they operate.

Winter water demand

The Team from Wellington Water

Given Auckland’s recent news around their low water supply, we thought we’d share how we’re tracking.

Given Auckland’s recent news around their low water supply, we thought we’d share how we’re tracking.

This graph shows our water use from June 5 – July 4 over the past 3 years. With the green line showing the maximum target of what we can comfortably supply - we need to keep below this line!

As you can see our use is much higher than in the past couple of years, and if we have a really dry spring we could need some serious water restrictions in summer.

Here are some ways to #loveeverydrop💙
- Shorten your showers (even cutting back by 1 minute can save up to 18 litres!) 🚿
- Turn off the tap when shaving or brushing your teeth
- Only put full loads of washing on at a time 👕👖
- Share your water saving tips with friends and family!

Let’s take a #LookInsideThePipes

The Team from Wellington Water

On the left, you’ll see a typical pipe taking wastewater to be treated at one of four treatment plants. But a few metres down, in the same pipe, there’s a blockage forming from fat being poured down drains, and sanitary products and wet wipes being flushed down the toilet!

On the left, you’ll see a typical pipe taking wastewater to be treated at one of four treatment plants. But a few metres down, in the same pipe, there’s a blockage forming from fat being poured down drains, and sanitary products and wet wipes being flushed down the toilet!

These nasty blockages are a nightmare for the wastewater network, and our crew has to clear them out, sometimes by hand.

The only way to stop them? Only flush the 3 P’s (poo, pee and toilet paper), and don’t let fats and oils down the sink 💩🚽🧻
