Northland’s three district councils are making progress in the establishment of a new council controlled water organisation.

A partnership agreement between Kaipara District Council and the Te Tai Tokerau Water Trust (the Trust) delivering a major infrastructure package for Dargaville and the Northern Wairoa Agricultural Delta has been signed.

The adoption marks a significant step toward establishing a regionally controlled water services entity.

The council controlled organisation will deliver drinking water and wastewater services from July 2027.
