It provides water to the Santa Teresa Water Treatment Plant, which serves over 100,000 customers. The surrounding area is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking. The reservoir is also used for irrigation of nearby agricultural lands, particularly for crops such as almonds and grapes.
