Picture: Haweswater Lake District source of water for Manchester » Filename: NwHaweswater5607.jpg

Haweswater in the Lake District (Westmorland / Cumbria) exists in its present form because it was acquired by Manchester Corporation to provide water for the city. Haweswater dam was completed in the late 1930s which considerably increased the size of the lake. Water flows via the pipeline down through Lancashire to Heaton Park reservoir north Manchester before being distributed to homes and businesses around the city.

One of the advantages of living in Manchester over London is the excellent quality of the water, which comes directly from the Lake District. Image captured 5.50pm uploaded 8.50pm from near the M6 at Lancaster via Vodafone Mobile Connect card.
