We are certifying a project NC 2009 and we are counting in our credit with a non potable reservoir outside the LEED Boundary but is within the limits of the property. The non potable water reservoir water is untreated water waste from different buildings within property limits. Can we use it for this credit?
Thank you

You can take a look at this question: "Retention pond off site" here - http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/WEc1?page=2#comment-64252
Since in your case it's not a natural waterbody (I suppose it is smth like concrete basin) it's not a problem. But if I were reviewer, my first question would be - is it enough water for your project, since if this reservoir is filled by different buildings, and it is treated to the standard (by the way, is it so?), that can be used for watering, so other building probably also use it.
So better to submit a CIR.
