Formerly the site of Shek Lei Pui Village,[1] the construction works of the reservoir began in 1923 and completed in 1925. Most of the villages were resettled in Hin Tin, a new village in Tai Wai, and the others to Kwai Chung.[2]
Its two dams and the valve house built at the centre of the dam are listed as Grade II historic buildings.[3][4]
