Watercare Services Limited - Crown monitor to monitor and report on performance

86: Crown monitor must monitor Watercare’s performance

You could also call this:

"The government checks if Watercare is doing its job properly."

The Crown monitor has to check how well Watercare is doing its job under the charter. You need to know that Watercare's job includes managing services or networks that it has contracts with other companies to run. The Crown monitor can go to any meeting of Watercare's board to help them do their job.

The Crown monitor can only go to a meeting if it is necessary for them to do their job properly under the Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Act 2024. This means the Crown monitor has to make sure they are only going to meetings that will help them check Watercare's performance. You should understand that the Crown monitor's role is to monitor Watercare's performance and report on it.
