A. The City of Pinole may consider Effective Precipitation (twenty-five percent (25%) of annual precipitation) in tracking water use and may use the following equation to calculate Maximum Applied Water Allowance:
MAWA= (ETo - Eppt) (0.62) [(0.55 x LA) + (0.45 x SLA)] for residential areas.
MAWA= (ETo - Eppt) (0.62) [(0.45 x LA) + (0.55 x SLA)] for non-residential areas.
The Reference Evapotranspiration (ETo) Table can be found in Appendix A of the State of California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
