Bottoms reservoir, Tintwistle, overflowing after several days of heavy rain. The circular construction to the left is the gauging basin designed to allow a measured amount of water each day into the River Etherow to supply the needs of the many textile mills downstream of the reservoir. At the time of my visit it seemed there was more water than the infrastructure could cope with. I really wanted an aerial photo of the gauging basin which is completely circular as I thought would make a great picture but unfortunately it was raining (there’s a surprise!!!) so I was unable to launch my drone. Maybe next time!
This gauging basin i s (was?) designed to allow a measured amount of water into the River Etherow (flowing left from the basin) to supply power and water to the many textile mills that once stood downstream of here. I’m always amazed when I see this construction, the geometry and construction still working perfectly after 150 years. The white spot in the centre of the image is actually a column of water about 20 feet high.

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE: Information on Selected Midsize and Large Cities with Declining Populations
Note: The available funds includes federal funds, state matching funds, funds transferred between Drinking Water SRF and Clean Water SRF programs, funds repaid from past loans, interest on those loans, issued bonds and leveraged bonds, interest on those bonds, and fees charged by states. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials told us that as of June 2016, 28 states used leveraged bonds.
a) Forty-six states have state fiscal years July through June. Alabama and Michigan' s state fiscal years are October through August; New York's state fiscal year is April through March; and Texas's state fiscal year is September through August. Numbers may not add to totals because of rounding; dollars are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation.
b) For the Drinking Water and Clean Water SRF programs, states develop criteria used to identify disadvantaged communities, so this categorization is not based on a single, nationwide definition. States have reported data for a total of 31 Clean Water SRF programs and 41 Drinking Water SRF programs for disadvantaged communities to EPA, but other states may provide additional subsidies for disadvantaged communities without reporting it to EPA.

Another childhood mystery solved. Nearly...
I always wondered what was in this little brick hut sat in a field near Chapel Brow, between Great Clifton and Bridgefoot. There was nothing connected to it that was visible, just a hut and a door. The main road from Cockermouth to Workington through Great Clifton used to run alongside it, but the road layout has now changed with the inclusion of a by-pass and a nearby roundabout.
I had a vague suspicion it was 'something to do with water' and I suspect, from other infrastructure en-route, it is above the main water pipeline from Crummock water to the Stainburn reservoir. It has been long-abandoned, and now the door can be opened I happened to be passing that way and took a peek inside. From the two pipes sticking up, the footings on the floor and the minimal single-phase electricity supply I suspect it was a gauge-house. Water pressure? An official-looking gate, padlock still intact, shouts 'Water Board' very loudly.
A mystery is a mystery, whether it is the purpose of a remote windowless brick hut in a field, or the origins of the universe. It's just that some are solved more easily than others.
