The path forward for Three Waters reform is now less murky.
The Government's accepted nearly all recommendations for our country's water system, from an independent working group.
A public shareholding structure will be put in place and shares will be held by councils on behalf of communities.
There'll also be regional representative groups...with a council and mana whenua chair for each region.

Newstalk ZB political reporter Aaron Dahmen was at the announcement and joined Kerre Woodham.
