About
Ashworth Moor Reservoir is an upland water supply reservoir amongst the Pennines in Greater Manchester, England, close to the A680 road between Rochdale and Edenfield. It was constructed in the early 20th century following legislation passed in the late Victorian period to expand the water supply of Heywood and neighbouring districts, and entered operational use in 1907. The reservoir remains part of the regional public water supply infrastructure in Greater Manchester.
