A water merger under a multi council CCO is probably messier than Three Waters entities (we don't know what the legal framework for these will be), as each Council will have different wants and needs that flow through the Statement of intent and statement of expectations and they will still want to exert control over their own assets rather than leaving it to the CCO.
