158: Person may notify chief executive of interest in knowing of enforcement action

You could also call this:

"Tell the chief executive you want to know about enforcement action"

Illustration for Water Services Act 2021

You can tell the chief executive if you want to know about enforcement action. You do this in a way the chief executive decides. You are asking if something has been, is, or will be looked into. If you ask, the chief executive must write back to you. They tell you if action has been taken or not. They also tell you if they plan to take action or not.
