Frustration from councils over the passing of the first of the Three Waters reforms bills.

The Water Services Entities Bill jumped its last hurdle, thanks to Labour's majority, yesterday.

The reforms take water assets from 67 councils, and amalgamates them into one of four water entities.

Communities 4 Local Democracy Chair, and Manawatu District Mayor Helen Worboys told Tim Dower the Government hasn't worked with councils like it said it would.

She says they've never had any answers on why this reform will make things more affordable.
