Local Authorities (Sewerage) Law, 1962.

This Law sets out the powers and functions of local authorities with respect to sewerage services. Compensation is payable for damages caused by installation of sewerage works. A scheme for the installation of a plant for the purification of wastewater or for the removal of wastewater from the area of the local authority requires the approval of the Minister of Agriculture or of a person appointed by him. A local authority may sell its wastewater provided that, to the satisfaction of the health authority, it will not become a public nuisance. Among the offences listed are the discharge of harmful substances or rainwater into sewer systems.
