The Government has established a National Transition Unit (NTU), for executing the Government’s decisions on Three Waters reform through a consistent and coordinated nationwide approach to transition. From 1 July 2024, four new water services entities will deliver drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services to people across New Zealand.
From November 2021 to 1 July 2024, the transition from the current system to the new one will take place. The NTU will ensure the transition is efficient, effective and minimises disruption to communities and consumers.
The NTU will deliver a consistent and coordinated nationwide approach to the transition from the 67 councils who are currently responsible for water services to the new system. The NTU will work alongside councils, iwi/Māori, industry and the wider water sector to make the transition successful.
In 2022, the NTU will set up four local establishment entities, which will support the local transition in their area. On 1 July 2024, these four entities will become the four water services entities.

In early 2021, the Three Waters National Transition Unit will undertake a procurement process for external advisors. These advisors will support local authorities and the National Transition Unit until 1 July 2024 to undertake the transition to four new water services entities.
Councils have been advised not to procure external advice themselves, as this will not be funded through the transition budget.
We are currently working through the details of the external advice which will be available for councils. This is expected to include access to panels of specialists as well as funding for local expertise where appropriate.
We will undertake a market sounding to transparently document the procurement opportunities prior to any market process to support business decisions.
Further updates will be provided via GETS when more information is available. Please do not contact the NTU ahead of these updates.
