Three Waters: Minister responds to outpouring of opposition

The government's plans to push ahead with its three waters reforms have been called the "theft of local assets" , "disappointing", "devastating" and "unacceptable" by some councils, while others are welcoming the plan as a relief to ratepayers. Billions of dollars worth of council-owned drinking, waste and stormwater infrastructure and services assets are to be amalgamated into four regional bodies.
