Whangarei District councillors have rejected the government's three waters reforms after a heated debate today.
The government has so far put $760 million aside for the overhaul, that will take stormwater, wastewater and drinking water management away from councils.
But today Whangārei councillors voted unanimously to pull the district out of the programme.
Anei te kai ripoata a Sam Olley no Whangārei.
