News from Wellington Water Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry has been elected Chair of the Wellington Water Committee. The role became vacant when Hutt City Councillor David Bassett stood down in March. The Wellington Water Committee is a joint committee of the six councils that own Wellington Water Limited. The Committee provides guidance and oversight of Wellington Water. The Water Committee considers Wellington Water’s half-year and annual reports, monitors performance and provides recommendations to shareholders on proposals. Mayor Campbell Barry says the need to invest in the region’s water infrastructure is urgent, and with national water reforms on the horizon, the time is right to refresh the Wellington Water Committee leadership.
