Could a water deduct meter be used as a working submeter assuming it properly segregates systems such as the cooling tower or irrigation?

Hi Ryan
In order for a deduct meter to qualify, it would have to measure BOTH the total water use (by subsystem) AND the amount of water not discharging into the sewer. This credit requires that you provide weekly water meter readings of consumption and not absorption to landscaping or evaporation in the cooling tower process. So I'd double check the meter's data logging process and see if that meets the credit requirements.
Hope this helps!
