Resumen

This Act amends the Water Industry Act adding provisions to section 6 and by inserting a new section 57A. The amendments concern delegation of powers and functions by Minister responsible for natural resources to the Public Utilities Commission principally to secure that there are provided throughout Belize, save in so far as the provision thereof is impracticable, such water and sewerage services shall satisfy all reasonable demands for them including, in particular, emergency services, and services in rural areas. A delegation under subsection (1) is revocable by the Minister and the delegation of the exercise of a power or the performance of a function shall not preclude its exercise or performance by the Minister. The provisions of this Act shall apply in relation to a power or a function delegated under this section as they would apply where the power or function is exercised or performed by the Minister. Section 57A allows the Minister, by Order published in the Gazette, to delegate to any Minister of State appointed to assist him, the exercise or performance of all or any of the powers or functions conferred upon the Minister under sections 14(2) and 29 and Part V. Those provisions concern, among other things, promotion of policy, protection of water collection zones and disconnections.
