Hello,

Does anybody know if we are supposed to include existing landscaping (located within the site boundary) in our calculations?

Thanks,

Can surface water, such as water from an irrigation ditch or a local creek, be used as nonpotable water?

Do interior planters count in the calculation?

We are using non-potable water for irrigation. For drought conditions, can we hook up to a potable water source for backup and still earn this credit?
