 Grizedale Lea Reservoir
Planned by the Fylde Water Works in 1860 as part of a scheme to supply Blackpool and the Fylde Coast with water, this was the third, final and largest reservoir to be built. At the time of its completion, the total capacity of Grizedale, Barnacre and Grizedale Lea Reservoirs was over half a billion litres (128.8 million gallons). |

| Grizedale Reservoir
Grizedale Reservoir was constructed 1861-63 by the original Fylde Water Board. Demand soon outstripped supply, leading to the creation of three further reservoirs.
Apart from drought when water may be pumped up to the larger reservoirs this is no longer used for drinking water. |
