Three Waters too big to fail? National, Greens predict councils will be forced to join


National and the Greens think the government may force all councils to join its Three Waters reforms to make them effective.
National Party local government spokesperson Chris Luxon says if enough councils pull out of the reforms it will leave a "patchwork quilt" of water management across the country, rendering the reforms useless.

The government on Wednesday announced details of its proposed reforms for the so-called Three Waters - drinking, waste and storm water.
It would move management of those systems from the hands of 67 councils into four big regional water authorities run by boards appointed with input from councils and with expertise in water infrastructure, and with treaty partnership on oversight.
