Has anyone encountered challenges with a MEP and/or a municipality not testing for SiO2 and found another way to provide the information for the potable water analysis?

Hi Julia - We worked on a project recently where the testing at our project showed all required parameters except the SiO2. Since this data was not available at the project boundary even after a few repeat attempts, we ended up submitting the past 2 years' worth of municipal level testing reports which showed that the SiO2 levels were significantly lower than the LEED threshold. This approach was accepted in our case. Hoping this helps some.
