Wellington Water's boss says local councils have every right to be angry at them. 

Tory Whanau yesterday described her council's relationship with the organisation as “tense” at a special meeting, following revelations last week it wasn't getting value for ratepayers' money. 

Wellington Water CEO Pat Dougherty told Mike Hosking he and his staff are doing everything they can to find the issues and fix them. 

He says there's been a culture of putting too much trust in their contractors, and he wants a more tense and accountable relationship.
