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.

Hi all! This is a final re-post for anyone looking to book a last-minute cat/house-sitter in the weeks leading up to Christmas 😊

I'm a 21 year old student who will be staying in Wellington over the Christmas/New Year period.
I'm responsible, quiet, and I love cats! I currently have space before the 30th of Dec and after 4th Jan to house-sit. I can also check-in on your cat and feed them if that's all you need!

Please dm me for any enquiries, as my rates differ to suit your needs.

Your local cat, music, and book-enthusiast,

Bike storage

Hi Wellingtonians
I'm looking for somewhere to keep my bike, preferably under cover. I need somewhere with easy flat access to the waterfront so I can get off-road exercise on the waterfront, round the bays, or take my bike to the Hutt valley on the train.
The Brooklyn hill is too steep for me to bike up to get home. Putting my bike on the bus is physically too hard, and metlink say their drivers are not allowed to help.
Hoping someone can help out
Sue
