Simon Watts: Local Government Minister happy with council's response to new water infrastructure model
Manage episode 521974097 series 2098285
The Local Government Minister is pleased to see councils joining forces under the new water infrastructure model.
The Department of Internal Affairs expects councils to spend nearly 48-billion dollars on Local Water Done Well over the next decade.
The reforms could create more than 40 water entities, with some councils joining multi-council-controlled organisations.
Simon Watts told Mike Hosking that 38 councils have already combined to form 12 entities.
But he says it's never been about the number of entities - the critical part is whether it's financially sustainable.
