Inquiry

Do wells, septics, and/or leach fields qualify for rainwater harvesting and "water reuse"? What about in areas where it\'s illegal to collect large amounts of rainwater?

Ruling

Septic systems and leach fields do not qualify for this credit. A project-specific CIR may be submitted for a well system, but the project team must submit an explanation of how much water the well is expected to contain, how the well water is used in the home, and whether and how the well is tied in to a water run-off system.
