The successful operation of this power system requires the with- <br /> <br />holding of certain quantities of storage for power purposes at the end of <br /> <br />the irrigation season in the Sugar Loaf and Twin Lakes Reservoirs in order <br /> <br />to insure the availability of water for firm power production in the winter <br /> <br />months.
