I am having trouble filling out the LEED Online template for option 9. The site in which our project is located has an onsite tertiary treatment plant that treats all of the wastewater generated in the buildings. The template automatically brings the information for Occupancy anf Fixtures from PI Form 3 and since that data applies only to the project and not to the building as a whole, the quantity of treated water is much higher than the water generated by the project. Furthermore, since the buildings at the site are leased to diferent companies, we do not have information with regard to their fixtures and features. We are applying for Option 2 - at least 50% of wastewater is treated onsite to tertiary standards. How should we go about it?

If the forms aren't correctly you might want to contact LEED Online --> feedback, to check for updated pdf forms.
You situation however sounds like all waste water gets treated, so I would try do documents it under special circumstances. Show the drawings for the whole system for the building also showing that there is no waste water bypassing the system. The catch is that the quantity of water could still be higher then what the system can handle. In that case try to use occupancy data base on the default numbers for LEED Core&Shell (BD+C Guide appendix 4
