Would you really want to be drinking the water from the bottom of that dam. Typically they don't draw down to the dead storage level. Might be ok for livestock but you don't want your kids drinking it. Trucking in potable water is the only option, other than bore water.
Chaffey has been well below useful storage level for years and nothing was done. The political will have to exist, and the various politicians don't want to admit they stuffed up.
