Recent heatwaves, which saw temperatures soar to over 30C in Greater Manchester, have left the region's reservoirs at under half capacity, according to United Utilities.
In the most recent figures published on their website, water levels in the Pennine Sources (including Woodhead) were at just 48.9 per cent -compared to an average level of 73.6pc last year.
