FAQs about WEc1 :

Can non-potable well water that is used for irrigation contribute to potable water reduction?

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?

An irriation pump was installed that supplied the need water for irrigation for the onsite pond. We sumitted this was a non potable irrigation for 4 points. The reviewer is telling me we can't use the local pond as irrigation. If the rainwater that is captured in the pond allow for the amount of irrigation that is required will that meet the credit. Any ideas?

It would only be ok, if the ponds is designed solely for the purpose of stormwater retention or detention. You can find that in more detail in the LEED reference guide addendum (2/2/2011).
