Answer

Corrected reply: Information and metrics from accepted council Water Services Delivery Plans (plans) and the associated Assessment Reports completed by officials are publicly available to view on the Department of Internal Affairs’ website here: www.dia.govt.nz/Water-Services-Policy-Water-Services-Delivery-Plans I am advised that compiling and collating the information at the level of specificity requested in the members question beyond what is already publicly available would require considerable time and resources, and I do not consider this to be in the public interest
