announced allocation
The "announced allocation" percentage is the maximum volume of water that may be taken in a Water Year (expressed as a percentage of nominal allocation), other than during a
stream flow period.
The total volume of water taken in a water year (under the announced allocation and stream flow periods combined) must not exceed the nominal volume for the water allocation.
Following, are allocation percentages announced for the current Water Year(s) under the Pioneer Valley Resource Operations Plan (ROP). The details applying to water distributed under PVWater's Distribution Operations Licence (DOL) are highlighted in red.

stream flow periods
If the current
announced allocation is less than 100% and natural flow in Cattle Creek or in the Pioneer River exceeds predetermined flow rates a "stream flow period" is declared. During a declared stream flow period, allocation holders may take water over and above the announced allocation percentage
provided that the total volume of water taken in a water year does not exceed the nominal volume for the water allocation.
