@Kay @toa5t I tend to view Nats position on their solution to how we should treat the whole argument.
Water should be in their view be one entity, no discrimination, so it should all be channelled through one pipe.
This would save enormous amounts of bureaucratic interference (thus money), high and low skilled workers ( money), get the job done in a third the time(money) and enormous savings (money) on pipe infrastructure, that can be channelled into what's really needed, ROADS.
Simple eh.

@BigD How does your post relate to Local Government Reform to better manage water related infrastructure?

One pipe? I don't want to get fresh water from the same pipe my toilet flushes into. The issues are about elderly pipes and how to organise fixing and manitaining them. Small councils don't have the expertise, funds or equipment to do the work as fast as is needed and slow downs effect communities and people's health. EG #HavelockNorth

Labour's #ThreeWaters would save money & time.

@Kay Satire Kay.
We actually have 4 waters, but I think only one party cares about that one.
I'm sitting here looking at the Pacific Ocean right now and it appears beautiful. I hope my great grandkids can see the same.
