Poll: What's your preference for Hamilton's water services?

Others have big doubts about the details or want the idea binned.
The city council on Monday announced 74% of more than 220 submissions supported having the two councils form a joint council controlled organisation (CCO) to run drinking water and wastewater services.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
