I'd say a no, even though there are loop holes to be found in LEED, i don't believe this is one. The rule of thumb I was taught with Water and Concrete, is if you'd drink it, then its acceptable for concrete mixing. Other water should not be used.

Hi Tristan! In the case you stated above, could the water component be counted as regional?

Seema, I hope my post was clear that I don't think the case for the water component is a very strong one. But yes, if you were able to convince GBCI that your water is recycled, why not also regional?
