We'd be keen to hear from those of you who had to cancel an overseas trip due to Covid-19 and holidayed in New Zealand instead. How did you find your NZ trip? Was it better or worse than you expected? Did you enjoy it as much as you think you would have enjoyed your overseas holiday? And did it change your views about holidaying domestically?

TODAY please aim to reduce your water use by 50% of normal to allow reservoir stocks to recover. If water is used as normal we are at risk of running out.
Please prepare for these temporary water-restrictions to last 1 week.
This belonged to my mum. Pick up in Kokopu. Needs to be taken by end of August. If interested, please make a reasonable offer. If you know of any church who would like this, please tell me so I can assist them.
Rainbow was a Rescue cat purchased by my mum in Auckland in 2011 so is getting old. She is a lovely gentle cat but would prefer to go to a calm home without other pets as she was shy (she was OK with two other cats and chooks so one other is fine) but recently, she has become a lot more friendly … View moreRainbow was a Rescue cat purchased by my mum in Auckland in 2011 so is getting old. She is a lovely gentle cat but would prefer to go to a calm home without other pets as she was shy (she was OK with two other cats and chooks so one other is fine) but recently, she has become a lot more friendly and she will make great company for someone who'll love her. We do not want to have to put her down but if a home cannot be found, that's her future. Do you know anyone who would like her, please? SPCA and Cat rescue say they don't want her. She is not the sort that gets under your feet so would suit an older person! She'll make a great companion. The photo shows her caught unawares....she's not wild! Please share this so we can get her a new loving home. Thanks. You can call or text me on 0221060310

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Two of our three water treatment plants are now operating at normal capacity but we still need time to increase stocks of clean water stored in reservoirs. Most reservoir levels dropped to 10-20% on the weekend when water treatment plants broke down and could not re-stock them.
Key reservoir levels as at 7:00am today:
Fairway Drive 33%
Kamo 39%
Onerahi 37%
Anzac 25%
Reservoir levels vary during a normal day and are constantly re-stocked by water treatment plants. We need to get them to around 80% full to be safe against another serious breakdown.
