It was opened on 11 March 1971 by HRH Queen Elizabeth II for the then Bolton Corporation Waterworks (since privatisation the reservoir is now owned by United Utilities).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United Utilities )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lancashire Telegraph Archive )〕 The reservoir's original purpose was to guarantee water for the Croal-Irwell river system and the associated industries.〔
