Resumen

This Law provides with respect to public health in the Cayman Islands. It specifies emergency powers of Chief Medical Officer. It also contains provisions on water supply and the control of statutory nuisances. The Governor may, by regulation, lay down standards of purity, both chemical and bacteriological, for water supplies and may apply different standards to different supplies or to different areas. The Chief Medical Officer shall take, from time to time, such steps as may be necessary for ascertaining the sufficiency and wholesomeness of water supplies within the Islands. He or she may close, or restrict use of water, which is, or is likely to be used for domestic purposes or in the preparation of food or drink for human consumption if such water is from a polluted source of supply. The Court may make an order directing the source of supply to be permanently or temporarily closed or cut of or that such water be used for another purpose. The Law provides also for the collection and treatment of infectious waste and the removal of garbage and other refuse.
