Three Waters is dead - long live ‘Affordable Water Reform’.

The Government has announced a revised version of their policy to improve the quality of the country’s waste, storm and drinking water systems.

As part of the changes announced by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins and Local Government Minister Kieran McAnulty, there will be 10 regionally owned and led public water entities, instead of the four originally proposed, to take over management of those systems.

Today, NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan joins fellow On the Tiles host Georgina Campbell to discuss the changes, and whether the name will stick.
