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?

Our project is going to allow the natural landscape to return to the landscape areas of the project. Can I claim no potable use and achieve the credit using this strategy?

Yes as long as the landscaping is at least 5% of your site.
