Are Lagoons, or septic tanks rewarded at all in LEED V4?
This credit was omitted from the new version and I am curious if I installed an on-site waste water treatment facility onsite which discharged into an aquifer below (not reused on site), would I receive any points?
Or must I treat onsite and reuse it in order to receive some points for alternative water sourcing.
Thanks in advanced

Lorne, septic tanks weren't rewarded in v2009, and I don't think they are in v4 either. Most conventional septic systems don't treat water to the standard required.
