Wellington Water Chair Nick Leggett says he's not going anywhere.
The mayors of Wellington and Upper Hutt - Tory Whanau and Wayne Guppy - both say they have no confidence in him.
A recent critical report found the organisation was potentially wasting millions of dollars on infrastructure contracts.
Leggett says he'd like Wellington to transition to a different water entity.
"That owns its own assets, can raise money off those assets and get good value for the money it spends and get them replaced as soon as possible."
