Both the mayors of Auckland and Christchurch have come together to discuss an alternative solution to Three Waters. 

This new plan is similar to the current one the Government has formed, with an exception being that the regional water organisations would be governed by local councils as opposed to a co-governance body.

Fran O'Sullivan, NZME business commentator weighed in on the mayors challenge to the Government regarding Three Waters- but pointed out this would be difficult to accomplish as there is a bureaucracy committed to making the current model happen.
