The lake is a 1930s project aimed at supplying drinking water to Mazamet and Aussillon. It was inaugurated on July 29, 1934, in the presence of the Mayor of each of these municipalities, as well as the Prefect of the Tarn region and the Minister of the Interior in the Doumergue government, Albert Sarraut.
Over time, following changes in guidelines regarding water catchments, Mazamet's drinking water supply is now provided by the Pas des Bêtes. Currently, the dam supplies drinking water to Labrespy and the Montagnès leisure center.
