| AdminHistory | Midlothian County Council (and later, Lothian Regional Council) was the authority usually responsible for sewers and drainage. In the case of Livingston, the Development Corporation planned and constructed such layouts. Initially an agreement was made that the County Council would pay for trunk sewers whilst the Corporation would contribute to connections to those sewers from house. Later the costs were borne by Lothian Regional Council, who paid 100% of costs for foul sewers and 50% of surface water sewer costs. |
