While no longer used for water supply, they are used as fisheries (mainly the lower reservoir). The waterworks has since been demolished, Ilfracombe's main waterworks is now on the outskirts of the town. Higher and Lower Slade Reservoirs were originally impounded for potable water supply but local knowledge suggests this reservoir is no longer used (and is considered natural by the enrvioment agency). The reservoir has a 6 acre mixed fishery (carp, bream, perch, roach & pike) managed by .. The reservoirs were built to supply water to the urban district of Ilfracombe. The reservoirs were insufficient so that Wistlandpound Reservoir was constructed. It was completed in 1956) and is now used as a fishery. Fishing here is restricted as a permit is required. Upper Slade Reservoir is a twin reservoir of Lower Slade Reservoir and served the same purpose.
