Concerns have been raised over the new Wellington water entity, as its board members will be paid twice as much as their Wellington Water counterparts.

The group's new chair will be paid $110,000 - a higher figure than the $60,000 Wellington Water's previous chair was paid.

The entity's CEO will also be paid $645,000 - a higher amount than the previous Wellington Water CEO got.

Wellington mayor Andrew Little says this is disappointing news, even if the group has plenty to manage.
