2) How would you...

Hi Justin, You don't have to worry about the fountain. It is not part of the irrigation system, so outdoor water use doesn't apply, and it's not an indoor user fixture, so also doesn't apply. This was also asked under the Outdoor Prereq, for reference:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/outdoor-water-feature-decorativ... and the Outdoor Credit:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/water-fountains-and-impact-outd... so at least we all have consistent responses.
