| Administrative History | Strichen Special Drainage District borrowed £620 with the approval of Aberdeen County Council in 1895 for new work.
In the same year Strichen Special Lighting District was set up, the first in the county, co-extensive with the Drainage District. Twenty-eight street lamps were proposed, including the adoption of four existing private ones. In 1897 a Special Scavenging District was formed on the basis of the Special Drainage District.
Strichen Special Water Supply District constructed a new reservoir in 1903, and the waterworks were extended in 1908. In 1911 the Water Supply District named the streets and numbered the houses according to the powers granted under the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1908.
The waterworks were augmented again in 1915.
In 1940 all the Strichen districts were extended, and in 1949 the Scavenging District was adopted into the county system. The Drainage and Lighting Districts followed in 1968. |
