3 Waters would not have been a long long time to every seeing any results.
People on here criticise the current government or politicians in general for not being honest. Well the most transparent government ever was lying to the country about 3 Waters.
When it was just being proposed. Money was being spent on it. When they couldn't answer basic questions on how it would work they said it was on hold and they will sort those points out. Money was still being spent on it. Likely after stuffing up KiwiBuild so much they were trying to get ahead.
Reading the above and seeing money being spent on water infrastructure might make you think that is great as that was the entire point. Replace the water infrastructure. It wasn't the infrastructure everyone was talking about when 3Waters and the water infrastructure was discussed.
Consolidating the different councils into a larger organisation is the project that should have happened. Consolidate things and standardise the systems running the infrastructure. Instead councils got money and the change was like moving the same systems but locating them 20 metres to the left.
