While there was consensus in the committee on most items, differing views were expressed in two areas. Firstly, a minority of the committee members expressed a view that small suppliers serving less than 30 consumers should be carved out from regulation. Mr Luxon MP has tabled a Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) to give effect to this. This view, however, was not supported by the majority of the committee, who recognised that there must be a way forward for all our communities to have safe drinking water.
