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?

Hi, I wonder if using groundwater pumped away from the building’s basement or foundation to use in flush-toilets and urinals instead of potable water is a way to achieve Water Efficiency Credit 2, Innovative Wastewater Technologies? Thanks

MKK, this is specifically allowed for WEc1. I don't know of language that specifically allows it for WEc2, but given the precedent I would think it should be allowed. Note that this is only for water pumped away as a nuisance—wells to collect groundwater are not allowed.
