Questions arise over Wellington City Council's plans for water services.
Wellington City Council has declined Wellington Water's $10 million dollar funding request, dishing out $2.3 million dollars instead.
Wellington Council believes Wellington Water won't be able to spend $10 million dollars because they won't have the resources for it.
Nicola Young, a Wellington City councillor says Wellington Water wouldn't have asked for the funding if they couldn't do the work needed.
"It's a lot of money, but they need it because of all the cost escalations. Effectively, we're not giving them the money, we're giving them a decrease in their operational funding. And operational funding is what fixes the leaks."
