Belfast City and District Water Commissioners information
The Mourne Wall, Slievenaglogh, 2010.The Water Office in Belfast, headquarters of the Belfast City and District Water Commissioners before the Second World War. Now occupied by Marks and Spencer.
The Belfast Water Commissioners was a public body in Ireland and later Northern Ireland,[N 1] established by the Belfast Water Act 1840, to improve the supply of water to the expanding city of Belfast. By 1852, the city was suffering a shortfall in supply of almost one million gallons per day.[1][2] In 1889 the body's name was changed to Belfast City and District Water Commissioners in recognition of the expanding boundaries of Belfast and resulting increased demand for water.
Major infrastructure completed for the Belfast City and District Water Commissioners includes the Mourne Conduit, the Mourne Wall, Silent Valley Reservoir, the Binnian Tunnel and Ben Crom Reservoir.
The Water Commissioners' responsibilities were transferred to the Department of the Environment's Water Executive in 1974 and are now managed by Northern Ireland Water.
