Dave Chambers: Watercare CEO on Watercare’s secret $20 million deal with Waikato-Tainui
Update: 2024-09-05
Description
Watercare is under fire for keeping a $20 million deal with Waikato-Tainui under wraps.
It's been revealed the Auckland Council-controlled water provider last year signed up to paying $1 million a year, for two decades.
The money will go into research and environmental projects in the Waikato River and catchment.
It's on top of $40 million paid for clean-up projects under Watercare's river-consent agreement.
Watercare chief executive Dave Chambers says they could've been more open.
"As things have unfolded today - certainly if we had our time again, we would have done things in a different way."
