Chance of acute water shortage in Wellington increases (www.rnz.co.nz)

The chance of Wellington experiencing an acute water shortage this summer has increased, while emergency water tanks sell out around the region.

New modelling from Wellington Water shows there is now a 33 percent chance of the region seeing an acute water shortage rather than a 24 percent chance that had been previously recorded.

Under that type of shortage, level 4 water restrictions would be brought into place which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50 percent.

Yeah I've actually been impressed with the response to my 2 FIXiT reports - I need to remember to use it more often.

We had an ever worsening leak round my way and I just had assumed it'd been reported. After maybe a month I ended up reporting it through the app and it was fixed the next week.

Would be nice if there was a way to view existing reports / jobs. I did a quick search and found this for water jobs: https://www.wellingtonwater.co.nz/resources/maps/job-status-map/ but it doesn't show anything for me (might be a mobile / Firefox thing)

The map loads for me on Firefox for Android, just with coloured areas.

Yeah on Chrome you can actually see individual jobs at specific addresses

I tried it on PC Firefox and it still doesn't work. Looks like it's blocking the cross-domain requests as they haven't set their CORS headers right.
