irrigating non-turf vegetation. Individual micro spray heads typically operate less than <br />12 inches above ground level and typically deliver water in the range of 0.10 to 0.50 <br />gallons per minute within a radius of five feet or less of the head. <br />MULCH. A protective covering of organic material, such as sawdust, wood chips, <br />compost, or other vegetative matter, spread on the ground to reduce evaporation and <br />increase water retention. <br />ODD-NUMBERED PROPERTIES. Properties with street addresses that end in odd- <br />numbered digits, or other properties so designated for the purposes of these <br />Standards through special arrangements with OWASA. <br />POTABLE WATER. Treated water provided by OWASA that is suitable for drinking, <br />cooking, and other domestic use. Water that is collected indoors in containers from <br />indoor faucets or spigots that would otherwise be discharged into drainpipes while a <br />user awaits the warming of the water for dishwashing, other washing, shaving, bathing, <br />or showering is not considered to be potable water for the purposes of these Standards. <br />PRECIPITATION RATE. The amount of water applied per unit of time, usually <br />expressed in inches per hour. <br />PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY. The area of land owned or maintained by municipal, <br />county, or state government primarily for the use of the public for the movement of <br />people, goods, vehicles, or storm water. For the purposes of these Standards, the <br />public right-of--way shall include curbs, streets, sidewalks, and storm water drainage <br />inlets, but shall not include adjacent landscaped areas that may also be located within <br />the legally delineated public right-of--way. <br />RAIN BARREL: A tank or container, typically located on the ground beneath a roof <br />drainage system, that captures and stores rainwater for subsequent reuse. <br />RAW WATER. Water drawn from a reservoir or other water source before treatment. <br />RECLAIMED WATER. Highly treated effluent from a wastewater treatment plant that <br />can be safely used for such non-potable purposes as irrigation, heating/cooling, street <br />cleaning, dust control, firefighting, and other applications that. do not require water of <br />potable quality. <br />RUNOFF. Water which is not absorbed by the soil or landscape to which it is applied. <br />Runoff occurs when water is applied too quickly (application rate exceeds infiltration <br />rate), particularly if there is a severe slope. These Standards do not apply to <br />stormwater runoff which is created by natural precipitation rather than human-caused or <br />applied water use. <br />3 <br />
