When you read this part of the law, some words have special meanings. A Commission service quality code is a set of rules made by the Commission under section 57ZF. A complaint is when you express dissatisfaction with something.

You will also see the words service or water services, which refer to the water services covered by this part of the law. A supplier or water services supplier is a company that provides these water services. The Water Services Authority—Taumata Arowai is an organisation established by section 8 of the Water Services Authority—Taumata Arowai Act 2020.

If a word is defined in Part 4 and used in this part, it has the same meaning as in Part 4.
