Who should manage Hastings’ Three Waters?
The Government is proposing moving the management of drinking water, waste water and stormwater (Three Waters) services away from city and district councils, to one of four entities across New Zealand.
Hastings services would be managed in a group of 21 council areas.
We want your feedback on the proposal based on the information we have to date, to include in our response to the Government.
