Councils aren't planning on backing down against the Three Waters reforms.
The first of three bills passed its final reading in Parliament yesterday, allowing for the amalgamation of council water assets into four water entities.
Councils will own these entities through a shareholding and will co-govern them with mana whenua.
Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon told Mike Hosking it's frustrating the Government has pushed forward with the reform.
He says this doesn't mean they will give up, as the matter is too important to the community.
