Lemon Reservoir in Colorado.

"Regulation of reservoirs for municipal and industrial (M&I) water supply is performed in accordance with contractual arrangements. Storage rights of the user are defined in terms of acre-feet of stored water and/or the use of storage space between fixed limits of reservoir levels. The amount of storage space is adjusted to account for change in the total reservoir capacity that is caused by sediment deposits. The user has the right to withdraw water from the lake or to order releases to be made through the outlet works. This is subject to Federal restrictions with regard to overall regulation of the project and to the extent of available storage space."[1]
