Sure it does.
Every hydraulic gate system is going to leak a little -- most of them do. So, how severe is the problem? Does it warrant draining the reservoir?
Irrigation users at Minersville have fought for years to use the conservation pool for irrigation use. They'll come up with any excuse available to use it.
They were very upset when the DWR proposed using divers to fix the problem without draining. They want it drained. They want the water. Water is gold -- and we're in a drought!
