Water bosses are investigating the future of Crummock Water after the Thirlmere pipeline goes live.
United Utilities created the 62-mile £300 million pipeline to connect Thirlmere to 80,000 homes in West Cumbria, replacing the supply from Ennerdale, Crummock, Chapelhouse Reservoir and Overwater.
Work started in 2014 and the first customers were switched over in July with all other customers expected to be connected by the end of the year.
Now the firm has announced a series of drop-in events for people to find out more about plans for Crummock, Chapelhouse Reservoir and Overwater. Ennerdale proposals are being drawn up separately.
