  1. Track C Onsite Water Reuse Strategies December 10, 2007 Donna Hartman, M.Eng., P.Eng. GE Water & Process Technologies

  2. Land with Poor Percolation • Use treated wastewater for toilets • 90% of the wastewater in an office building • 50 to 70 % in a shopping mall • 70 to 80 % in a theater or sports arena • That percentage of the drain field is saved • We have been doing this since 1975

  3. Water Recycle can Earn up to6 LEED™ Certification Points Water Efficiency 1. Water Efficient Landscaping, Reduce by 50% (1 point) 2. Water Efficient Landscaping, No Potable Use (1 point) 3. Innovative Wastewater Technologies (1 point) 4. Water Use Reduction, 20% Reduction (1 point) 5. Water Use Reduction, 30% Reduction (1 point) Innovation & Design Process 6.
