Good researching. All of the media mentions implied that it was a recent decision by DWP to drain that reservoir.
Now in normal conditions, the nearby 3,000,000,000 gallon Encino reservoir would have made up for the lack of the Santa Ynez
But with winds over 30 mph, the water dropping aircraft were grounded.
