Wellington Water Suburb of the Week - Karori

The Team from Wellington Water

A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!

A relatively wet week last week meant that overall people around the region have been keeping demand below the 160 million litre per day (MLD) target which is awesome to see.

All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.

Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.

Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
