FAQs about WEc3 :

What if the building has no irrigation systems?

Can I still use Option 1 if I have metered irrigation water use data but it’s only for a couple of months or not the whole irrigation season?

The site already uses reclaimed water for irrigation provided by the water utility or reuses graywater from the building for irrigation. Can the building still qualify for the credit?

To determine the baseline for Option 1, how can we determine what “conventional” practices are?

EBOM-2009 WEc3:Water Efficient Landscaping

City Supplied Reclaimed Water

My project site is already utilizing reclaimed water for 100% of it's irrigation, as required by the local city ordinance. Are we still eligible for this credit?

Yes, you should be eligible for all available points and need to provide a letter from the owner or property manager verifying that 100% of the water is reclaimed. It is also good to provide context about where the reclaimed water is coming from, meaning if it's a "purple pipe" or some other reclaimed water source.
