Three Waters Reform

Central Government is reviewing how to improve the regulation and supply of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater (the three waters) in New Zealand.

The Three Waters reform programme has the potential to significantly change the way critical water infrastructure and services are delivered in our district.

Councillors agreed to participate in the initial stage of the programme. This gives us a seat at the table, together with Government and regional partners, to explore the local impacts of the Three Waters Services proposal.
