Chlorinating House [NAT]

OS 1:2500 map, 1972.

Control House

A collection of buildings, mostly rubble-built with slate roofs, dating from the completion of the first phase of the water works scheme in 1859. The flow of water into and from the adjacent Mugdock and Craigmaddie reservoirs is controlled and monitored from these buildings, as is water quality.

Information from RCAHMS (MK Oglethorpe), 2001.

This small square floorplan brick building with wooden roof controlled the chlorination of the intake water of the Mugdock draw-off-tower, until the process became automated. The building is likely to have been built in 1940s-50s.

Infomation from Jelle Muylle, engineer carrying out survey of sites and structures of the Glasgow Corporation Loch Katrine Waterworks scheme for RCAHMS, Historic Scotland funded, December 2007.
