Intent 目的Conserve water through non-potable water systems without compromising the health of the building occupants.
Efficient water management is an ever-growing need for supporting and sustaining human existence. The rise of extreme droughts and subsequent long-term water scarcity are requiring changes in how humans think about and use water. Conversely, severe rain events can overload wastewater treatment plants with storm- and rainwater, potentially resulting in combined sewer overflows (CSOs), in which untreated water is released to natural bodies of water and beaches downstream. Buildings can reduce the pressure on city-wide water infrastructure by supporting efficient allocation of resources, such as minimizing the use of municipally sourced water for applications that do not require potability (e.g., irrigation, flushing toilets). However, without proper design and operations management, there is a risk of contamination of potable water lines or oral or respiratory exposure to non-potable water.
Part 1 Implement Safety Plan for Non-Potable Water Capture and Reuse
WELL Certification: 2 Pt | WELL Core: 2 Pt For All Spaces: The following requirements are met: a. The project implements a safety plan that contains the following: 1. A list of key team roles for design, operations, maintenance and third-party inspection of the non-potable water system capture, treatment and use. 2. A list of all applicable codes and regulations in the jurisdiction where the non-potable water reuse system is being installed and that govern the design, commissioning, and approval of operation of the system. 3. A process flow diagram that displays the non-potable water sources, conveyances, storage units, treatment devices and points of use, emphasizing the points where makeup potable water (i.e., water needed to supplement non-potable needs) may be added. 4. A description of the system that includes the sources and estimated contaminant loads of the non-potable water, the intended uses for the non-potable water, the water treatment devices (if any) and their certifications, and the water quality parameters expected at the points of use. 5. An analysis of how human exposure to pathogens through ingestion and inhalation of non-potable water is minimized, including (if applicable) a description of how the potable water network is protected from the introduction of non-potable water, emphasizing strategies that address cross-connection control and backflow prevention. 6. A description of the signage and identifiable pipe color-coding to distinguish the non-potable water network. 7. A list of strategies for the control of odors, nuisances and vectors due to stagnation of non-potable water. 8. A narrative that details provisions for emergency operations caused by overflow of storage tanks, leaks and outages. 9. A list of operational parameters (such as flow, turbidity, coliforms or other treatment-dependent indicators) to monitor the intended functioning of the water system, their monitoring frequency and control actions if such parameters are beyond target ranges. 10. A list of control points where the operational parameters are being measured. 11. A list of routine maintenance protocols and schedules. 12. A description of the procedures for system startup, determination of protocols for verification of the safety plan, including Legionella testing if a risk of inhalation exists, and schedule for third-party inspections. b. Projects submit annually through the WELL digital platform documentation of the startup procedure, maintenance logs, results from verification tests (when applicable) and of third-party inspections. c. Projects provide visual evidence of conspicuous signage to occupants to help them to clearly distinguish potable from non-potable water (where applicable) as well as informative displays to highlight the safety features and conservation goals of the non-potable water system.
