Local Water Done Well

Local Water Done Well is the Sixth National Government's policy to address New Zealand's water infrastructural challenges.[1] It is the successor to the previous Sixth Labour Government's controversial Three Waters programme.[2] The policy focuses on local ownership and decision-making over the delivery of water services while meeting economic, environmental and water quality regulatory requirements.[1]

Local Water Done Well consists of three laws repealing the previous Three Waters legislation; establishing the framework and preliminary arrangements for the new water services system; and establishing the endurance settings of the water services system.[3][4] The repeal legislation passed on 14 February 2024 while a legislation establishing the framework of the council-owned new water services system passed into law on 28 August 2024.[2][5]
