Public Health Act (Cap. 263).

The Act makes provison for the protection of public health in Grenada. It deals with, among other things, food hygiene matters, the slaughter of animals, the pollution of streams, and nuisances generally. The Act establishes the Sanitary Authority, which shall exercise a general superintendence and control over all sanitary matters in Grenada. The Act makes rules- and the Authority may make Regulations- concerning maintenance of drainage channels, i.e. any open channel, ditch or passage serving as a connection between any unhealthy area and any natural watercourse or the sea-shore, and irrigation from such channels.
