What has the council been doing?Asleep at the wheel again?
"Wellington Water has admitted overlooking a budget error that has resulted in an extra last-minute bill for councils of $51 million over three years.
At a meeting of the Wellington Water Committee this morning, board member Pat Dougherty apologised on behalf of the organisation and promised an independent inquiry.
He told angry mayors and councillors around the table that Wellington Water was conscious that this came at a time when councils were coming to the end of the hardest long term plan process many had ever faced, with “terrible pressure on operating budgets”.
“It’s the worst time in 20 years to make a mistake like that, and the worst moment to find out about it,” he said."
