Freatics water

Thank you Charles. In my region phreatic water does not used for domestic water. This systems was designed for the project to reduced the water supply for municipal water supply. If I answer to reviewer that the water is only for domestic water supply, he can understand that this design is normal for our community? Thanks

Hi, the reviewer´s comment is: "It is not clear that the sub-soil groundwater is an acceptable source of nonpotable water. Provide a detailed narrative, at a minimum, to describe how the water is collected, and to clarify whether the water is collected for the sole purpose of supplying water to the domestic water fixtures, or if the collection of the water is necessary for other reasons. See the Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance, updated October 17, 2016, for additional guidance on acceptable sources of nonpotable water for this prerequisite." The Water Use Reduction Additional Guidance 10-17-2016 v9_0 indicate: "Sources of non-potable water that do not apply to the Water Efficiency credits include water discharged from an open loop geothermal system as indicated in LI 2545, untreated water sourced from naturally occurring surface water bodies, such as streams, rivers, and lakes, and well water as indicated in LI 10013 and LI 456." Our project treat the water (Chlorination) of the wells before using to toilets and urinals. Is this an allowable casuistry for LEED? Thanks
