Buller councillors vote to continue with water CCO

Buller District Councillors yesterday agreed that Buller would remain the administrative council for the shared Coast water council-controlled organisation (CCO), but would ask other Councils to share the debt financing.

At the decision-making meeting Councillors expressed further concerns about affordability issues for Buller residents, but the majority agreed to proceed with the CCO set-up.

Councils will continue to work through set-up matters in the coming weeks.
