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?

NC-2009 WEc2:Innovative Wastewater Technologies

groundwell non potable saline water

We are trying to pursue this credit, by using municipal 'brackish' water for irrigation and toilet flushing. The source of the municipal brackish water is groundwater pumped up from wells that is non-potable that is used throughout the region for irrigation. What is the definition for "municipal wastewater"? Can someone please advise if this will be accepted as wec2 and wec1 credit? In addition, our engineer says a polishing plant would be required before this water can be used for toilet flushing. Any advice on this?

Natalie, according the LEED requirements, this is explicitly not allowed. However, there is a case to be made that it should be, but you'd probably need an official ruling via CIR or LEED Interpretation.
