Administrative History | The Water Works and Gas Light Company of Chesterfield was incorporated in 1825. The works were taken over by the Chesterfield Gas and Water Board in 1896. From 1933 the water supply has been provided by the Chesterfield and Bolsover Water Board, a statutory body representative of the Chesterfield Corporation and the Bolsover Urban District Council. In 1952 the name was changed to the Chesterfield, Bolsover and Clowne Water Board. |
