WSSC just finished a project on Brighton Dam. And they are anticipating starting a sediment removal project this spring. I don’t think they have specially said so, but they may be lowering water levels in the reservoir to facilitate that.

https://www.wsscwater.com/watershed talks about the sediment.

Some names that may help you research more: Tridelphia Reservoir, Brighton Dam, and they are managed by WSSC (Washington suburban sanitation commission, or close to that)

Edit - oh, Brighton is the other one. The water levels under 29 are T. Howard Duckett Dam and T. Howard Duckett Reservoir. But, it still would not be unheard of that a project in one reservoir is affecting the downstream one.

I feel silly now, because I did not even realize that part of the river under 29 is part of a reservoir. Thank you for the information though!
