Andy Foster: the state of Wellington's water

From Lately, 10:20 pm on 20 February 2020

A taskforce has been created to look into Wellington's water problems. Mayor Andy Foster says it will include councillors, mana whenua and some individuals independent from the council. Lately has talked to Owhiro Bay resident, Eugene Doyle, and Wellington Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons, who have been damning about Wellington Water's lack of performance. The Mayor, councillors and Wellington Water met yesterday to thrash it out and the outcome is a mayoral taskforce. Mayor Andy Foster joins Karyn to look at why a taskforce is needed.
