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?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Pop-up irrigation systems

My guess is "no" but are pop-up systems any more efficient than conventional irrigation? I'm not getting a verifiable answer from my supplier. Any links or old LEEDuser thread appreciated.

Melissa, I'm not aware of anything more efficient about a pop-up sprinkler head. Isn't their main selling point that they are concealed, and out of the way of maintenance equipment?

Tristan, sorry, I never saw your reply to my question. Yes, you're right. I was asked to check and I did so reluctantly. I don't see any reason why they should be considered more efficient than a normal sprinkler.
