Abstract

In keeping with the stated policy of seeing to the orderly development, use and conservation of water resources, and providing the public with dependable supply and sewerage services (sect. 3), the statute (a) provides a framework of rules for the management of the country's abundant stock of water resources, and (b) divests the government of the water supply and sewerage utility function and vests this function in a limited liability company, namely, the Water and Sewerage Company Limited (WASCO). Accordingly, Parts III, IV and V of the statute lay down substantive rules governing the provision of water supply and sewerage services by WASCO. Substantive rules for the management of water resources are found in Parts VI and VII.
