Mayor of Timaru
Utilities and services
Councils are responsible for a wide range of utilities and services that we all rely on, from rubbish and recycling to street cleaning. Councils are currently also responsible for managing waste water, storm water and drinking water infrastructure – the ‘Three Waters’. But that may be about to change, with central government seeking to shift the delivery of Three Waters services to four new larger entities, which could borrow enough to upgrade the country’s water infrastructure.

Oppose the Three Water reforms as it is an asset grab by the government.
Continued leadership for "Better Three Waters" reform that supports property rights, local accountability and district aspirations.
