History
Construction of the reservoir began in 1900 for Douglas Corporation as a replacement for the existing reservoir in Summerhill Glen and to supplement the supplies at Clypse and Kerrowdhoo reservoirs.
Materials for the construction were carried up the valley by the West Baldwin Railway.
The reservoir came into service on September 6th 1905.
