FAQs about WEc1 :

Can non-potable well water that is used for irrigation contribute to potable water reduction?

Can surface water, such as water from an irrigation ditch or a local creek, be used as nonpotable water?

Do interior planters count in the calculation?

We are using non-potable water for irrigation. For drought conditions, can we hook up to a potable water source for backup and still earn this credit?

NC-2009 WEc1:Water Efficient Landscaping

Temporary Irrigation but Reused Water

Has anyone secured a point under WEc1 without using either drip or sprinkler irrigation system? Our project outside US is looking to achieve points through manual irrigation (hose bib), however the water will come from non-potable water sources i.e. rainwater and STP. I understand that to secure two (2) points there should be a calculated reduction of 50% non-potable for irrigation. If the calculated amount of water processed by the STP managed to offset 50% of the potable water demand for irrigation, are we qualified to earn two points?

We are working on a project that's doing the same thing. Any luck? Do we have to calculate the the amount of water that's been fed through the hose bibs? it's only temporary
