Water rates could hit $14,000 a year

RNZ reports:

Household water – running through pipes and out taps – could incur a bill of $14,000 a year in coming decades.

Incredible.

This is if there is no reform in who delivers water services, but if new management bodies are set up, those water bills could be limited to $800-$1600 in 2051, the analyses, led by the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, suggest.

Reforming water management is a great idea in theory. But based on how this Government manages major projects it will cost five times as much and be ten years late.
