### sec.302 Regulator may request information about a recycled water scheme
Before declaring a recycled water scheme to be a critical recycled water scheme, the regulator may ask the recycled water providers and other entities proposed to be declared to be part of the scheme to give the regulator a notice about who the providers and entities agree is the scheme manager for the scheme.
Also, the regulator may by notice require a responsible entity to give the regulator, within a stated reasonable period, information about the scheme.
When making the requirement, the regulator must warn the responsible entity it is an offence to fail to comply with the requirement unless the responsible entity has a reasonable excuse.
A responsible entity must comply with the requirement unless the responsible entity has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—200 penalty units.
If a responsible entity is an individual, it is a reasonable excuse for failing to comply with the requirement that giving the information might tend to incriminate the responsible individual.
In this section—
responsible entity , in relation to a recycled water scheme, means—
a recycled water provider or other entity proposed to be declared to be part of the scheme; or
the proposed scheme manager for the scheme.
