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.
