It's not the normal wildfire season right now. It runs June-Oct.
The threat was elevated due to the extra brush in the hills. Normal competent people would have known this.
They should have kept everything full until they could have done prescribed burns, but they weren't going to do the burns anyway.
It was a perfect storm of incompetence.

"Repairs to it's cover."
It's a damn cement pond. Uncle Jeb didn't have no cover on his.

Lowering levels for winter’s less usage is different than the emptying and closing down it down for repairs that took place before fires.
The comment about winter and lowering levels was to explain the below:
Not maximum capacity but still would have given them some additional water and possibly additional pressure.

Adams said that if the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been in normal use with a fully repaired cover, the water level would likely have been well below maximum capacity.

They ran out of water in the high desert? How could this happen?

Said this in the other thread.
If the state of California had focused on it's infrastructure and legal citizens instead of being a sanctuary state and pouring billons of dollars into that, they would have had money for water and fire fighters.

But a lot of people in the other thread said that Florida and Texas wouldn't have been better prepared.
That's speculation. What isn't speculation is that LA was woefully unprepared.

RESIGNATION? The fact-checkers have been falsely claiming LA Mayor Bass didn't cut the LA Fire Department's budget. Now we're learning that she actually demanded the LAFD cut ANOTHER $49 million from its budget just last week before she left the country. Is anyone going to resign? Get fired? The Water Chief? The Lesbian Fire Chiefs? The Mayor? The Governor? Someone? Anyone?

This isn’t fire season. Putting it out for repair during fire season would have made no sense.

If you have to empty a reservoir too repair it, when would be the best time? Mud slide season?

That reservoir is used for drinking water. With a torn cover, which was the reason for repair, the water wouldn't have been potable. Making repairs to a drinking water reservoir during the wildfire offseason, makes the most sense. Lots of things to rag on CA for, but this isn't one of them.

It’s ok. If only the wind didn’t blow at a certain angle none of the precautions needed to be taken. It was just this once. Relax.

i mean to be fair...this isnt normal fire season and this would normally be the time for repairs
but seems like they would have had temporary redundancy in place as a just in case shite hits the fan type thing.

So repair the reservoir when water usage is up and they need more water?

I don't think there is a rental market for 100 million gallon tanks. This was also one of three reservoirs in that area, so they did have some redundancy for providing drinking water.
