The Water Pressure group are holding a protest outside Ike's villa in Grey Lynn to stop the council from taking down his anti-Metrowater signs. Ike's front lawn is covered with signs. The signs speak out against the privatisation of water services in Auckland and councillors involved in allowing this to happen.

The Water Pressure group are against the privatisation of water and the waste-water charges brought in by the "LATE", Metrowater. They encourage citizens not to pay Metrowater. They will help people turn back on their water if it is turned off by the council.

Passers by got free demonstrations of how to turn back a blocked water main themselves.
