History

Construction began in the late 1940s and the Fena Reservoir was completed in 1951. The purpose of the reservoir was to provide water for the citizens. The total cost of the project was $11 million U.S. dollars. An 85 foot tall dam was constructed by the US Navy.
The source of all drinking water on Guam is rain. Rain water also supplies all of the water for this reservoir.
