The Prime Minister has confirmed the Government may have to intervene in the decisions of proposed new Three Waters entities.
Under the Government's latest plan, 10 entities will be created to manage water services.
Each entity will be managed by a board, with a representative body of council and iwi reps overseeing the selection of board members, and providing advice on how water catchments should be managed.
Chris Hipkins told Tim Dower if those council and iwi reps are split down the middle on an issue, the Government will have the final say.
He doesn't envisage there will ever be a situation where the council reps are all in complete disagreement with iwi reps.
