Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has ordered the dismissal and investigation of Lin Yu-yi, the director of the Feitsui Reservoir Administration. The Taipei City Government announced that the case originated from a tip received by the city's Government Ethics Office, which initiated a probe.

Mayor Chiang was reportedly informed of the investigation on Monday, October 17, and immediately instructed the ethics office to proceed with a thorough and swift inquiry. On Friday, October 21, the ethics office provided an update to the mayor. Due to potential legal violations, the case has been transferred to the Agency Against Corruption for further investigation.
