97S: How warning is issued

You could also call this:

"How the Chief Executive Gives Warnings About Water Services"

Illustration for Water Services Act 2021

You need to know how a warning is issued. The chief executive issues a warning by putting it in the Gazette. They can also add it to a national code of practice when they issue the warning. When the Water Services Authority updates a national code of practice, they do not have to consult people as required by section 97J if the update is just about adding a warning. The chief executive has these responsibilities to make sure you are informed about water services infrastructure or methods.
