Aotearoa is blessed with an abundance of fresh water. It is our most precious natural resource. This Government wants to ensure this taonga is cared for and protected for generations to come. We want to ensure that services that provide us with water are looking towards that future. This is why the Government is engaged in a comprehensive programme of three waters reform. The Water Services Bill, which will provide the new regulatory regime for drinking water, along with better oversight of our three waters services, is a central part of this reform programme.
