FAQs about WEc2 :

The credit language says the Option 2 involves a reduction in wastewater. Does that mean that all water, including process water, should be included?

Can project teams include reclaimed water systems that are planned and funded, but not completed?

Using well water for WEc2

Our MEP has recommended drilling a well and using local well water to flush the tolleits instead of using municipally supplied potable water. Based on the intent of this credit, I am not sure that using well water is a viable strategy. What is your opinion on this strategy?

Use of well water is specifically mentioned as non-compliant in the Reference Guide for WEc1. Although not specifically mentioned in the same way for WEc2, I don't see that it would be any different. Do you?

Tristan, I agree. If well water is non-compliant for WEc1, I would think that it is non-compliant for Wec2.

I have a related question, If the well has non-potable water could this water be used for flushing the toilets and be suitable for WE C2?
