Have your say on a proposed levy to fund a new economic regulation regime for New Zealand’s water services

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is asking for feedback on a proposed levy to recover the cost of a new economic regulation and consumer protection regime for New Zealand’s water services.

The proposed levy has been designed to recover the cost of the economic regulation regime and ensure the Commission is funded appropriately to do this important work. It is estimated that the levy will cost $1.30 per person and per year in 2025/26 and 2026/27.
