Local Water Done Well

Central government-led changes are coming to water services.

Local Water Done Well is the Government’s plan to address New Zealand’s long-standing water infrastructure challenges.

It recognises the importance of local decision making and flexibility for communities and councils to determine how their water services will be delivered in the future.

It will do this while ensuring a strong emphasis on meeting rules for water quality and investment in infrastructure.
