Wellington Water has made a $51 million dollar mistake, and is asking councils for a funding top-up. 

Wellington Water board members fronted up at a committee meeting this morning, saying there will be an independent investigation. 

Wellington Water CEO Tonya Haskell told Heather du Plessis Allan “In the process of coming up with those numbers, we missed our corporate overhead, which is six percent.” 

Haskell said “Part of that is due to the systems, we’re waiting for new systems and water reforms.”
