It fed the city of Liverpool prior to its current status as a supply mainly for Wigan[1], and itself is fed mainly from the River Yarrow. Built in the 1850s, the area is now a wildlife haven, with a Woodland Trail which links in High Bullough reservoir. The original `Rivington Pike Scheme' was undertaken by Thomas Hawksley between 1850 and 1857. The scheme was to construct five reservoirs and a water treatment works at the south end of Lower Rivington with a 17-mile pipeline to storage reservoirs at Prescot. Water from two higher level reservoirs, Rake Brook and Lower Ruddlesworth, was carried south in `The Goit', a channel connecting them to the reservoirs.[2][3] In November 1997, the reservoir was refilled after a particularly dry summer. The water flow was so large that the reservoir required an emergency draw-down. With the water level at a temporary low, there was an opportunity to inspect the Heapey embankment on Moor Road, which had been leaking since the 1960s. The condition of the embankment and surrounding strata were such that a phased grouting operation was required to remedy the leakage. The reservoir was refilled, but was still leaking. After a second grouting and refill operation, the embankment was deemed leak-free. It appears that the original cause of the leak was an 18" cast iron drawoff pipe which supplied White Brook to the north of the embankment. The trench for the pipe was cut much deeper than needed, through a glacial meltwater channel. However, shutting the pipe off in the 1970s failed to remedy the situation.[4] Waterman's Cottage Waterman's Cottage, built by the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Authority from local stone Built by the Liverpool Corporation, along with The Street and other dwellings on Dryfield Lane and Rivington Lane, the property is an impressive mock-Tudor style structure. Also known as Heapey Cottage Anglezarke, its first noted occupants were Denis and Anne Oakden, albeit in the 1940s, many decades after construction. Denis worked for the Water Authority and moved to the property after several years in Porch Cottages, White Coppice.[5] Leicester Mill quarry, once a hive of industrial activity, is now a popular area for rock climbers.
