Watercare investment to upgrade infrastructure and create jobs
01 Sep 2025
Watercare’s $500 million investment to upgrade and replace aging infrastructure will deliver improved water services and more jobs for Aucklanders, Local Government Minister Simon Watts says.
“The Government knows that decades of underinvestment in water services have created an unavoidable cost for everyday Kiwis. That’s why the Watercare Charter was developed last year by the Government in collaboration with Auckland Council to ensure water services remain affordable for Aucklanders. The Charter will save households nearly $900 million over four years while also guaranteeing improved service quality and record infrastructure investment.”
