LEX-FAOC018857

Freeport Bye-laws Act (Cap. 29).

This Act authorizes the Port Authority to make, with the approval of the Minister responsible for Public Health and the Minister responsible for Public Works, Bye-laws for the enforcement of a Building Code or a Sanitary Code which may apply in the Freeport Area. The Act also requires permission from the Authority for well-digging or abstracting groundwater in the Port Area. The Bye-laws may be made for, among other things: the protection from pollution of underground water; preventing waste, undue consumption, misuse or contamination of water supplied by the Port Authority or a licensee empowered to supply water to the public, or of water obtained from wells or boreholes with the permission of the Port Authority; the control of refuse and other waste.
