According to atlantatimemachine.com, the Bellwood Quarry was mined for rock and stone for 100 years. The site also states that the reservoir (the former quarry) will not be filled with water until around 2040.

It's a combination of its massive size and not being able to take too much water away annually to fill it up any sooner.
