in any act or practice which violates the provisions of NRS 445A.800 to 445A.955 , inclusive, or a regulation adopted or order issued pursuant thereto, or any term

or condition of a permit to operate a public water system issued pursuant to NRS 445A.860 or a certification of a laboratory for the analysis of water issued pursuant to NRS 445A.863 , the Division may, in addition to any other action authorized or required by NRS 445A.800 to 445A.955 , inclusive, issue an order: (a) Specifying the provision or provisions which the Division believes or has reason

to believe the person is violating or has violated; (b) Setting forth the facts alleged to constitute the violation; (c) Prescribing the actions the person must take to correct the violation and the

period during which the violation must be corrected; and (d) Requiring the person to appear before the Administrator of the Division or a hearing

officer appointed by the Administrator to show cause why the Division should not commence

an action against the person in district court for appropriate relief. 2. If the Division has reasonable cause to believe, based on evidence satisfactory

to it, that any person is about to violate the provisions of NRS 445A.800 to 445A.955 , inclusive, or a regulation adopted or order issued pursuant thereto, or any term

or condition of a permit to operate a public water system issued pursuant to NRS 445A.860 or a certification of a laboratory for the analysis of water issued pursuant to NRS 445A.863 , the Division may, without a prior hearing, issue a summary order against the person,

directing the person to cease and desist from any further acts that constitute or

would constitute a violation. The summary order to cease and desist must specify the provision of NRS 445A.800 to 445A.955 , inclusive, or a regulation adopted or order issued pursuant thereto, or the term

or condition of a permit or certification which the Division reasonably believes is

about to be violated. 3. An order issued by the Division pursuant to subsection 1 or 2 is effective immediately

and is not subject to review unless the person to whom the order is directed, not

later than 30 days after the order is issued, submits a written petition to the Commission

for a hearing.
