Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: That member wants to perpetuate a myth of her own making. In fact, what the new water service entities will do is enable the ability to invest in waters infrastructure in a way that councils cannot currently do. What that will deliver is greater benefits to households, who will have the assurance that with reform, they will get not only a quality service but also the benefit of small and big regions alike being treated in a way where absolutely they will have safe drinking water. There will be improved environmental outcomes and there will be an assurance that alongside regional growth and opportunity, certainty of employment of those currently in the water industry and going forward under these reforms are guaranteed.
