This is why we need 3-waters reform. The ones who oppose this (National/Act voters included here) are the ones directly responsible for the vertical climb in local and regional rates we can expect over the coming years.

I never really understood why that was such a terrible thing, the amount of water being used was actually not much at all.

But think of the carbon emissions and plastic waste involved in shipping water halfway aroudn the world when there are perfectly suitable water sources local to those consumers.

The carbon footprint of ocean shipping isn't that much. Besides, I don't see why Iwi should have any more of a say on non - local issues like that than any other person.
