Between 1862 and 1868 the lower reservoir was formed by constructing an earthen dam across the valley of the River Vartry after a Dublin Water Works Committee was established to develop a new water supply to Dublin and suburbs.
•
The water is piped from Vartry to a large open service reservoir in Stillorgan in the southern suburbs of Dublin.
