The intent of this credit is to reduce the generation of wastewater and potable water demand, while increasing the local aquifer recharge. Strategies include the use of non-potable water, recycled greywater and on-site treated wastewater for sewage conveyance. Concrete cisterns and treatment tanks can be used to fulfill the requirements of this credit. This credit is worth 2 points.
