Alternate On-Site Sources of Water
Bill Hoffman, Hoffman & Associates

Green building, rising water costs, limited water supply and a number of other factors have made the use of alternate on-site sources of water a growing market. Possible sources of on-site sources include, but are not limited to:
•Rainwater harvesting
•Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) reject water
•Stormwater harvesting
•Greywater (untreated)
•Air conditioner condensate
•On-site treated wastewater (including graywater) systems
•Swimming pool filter backwash water
•Foundation drain water
•Cooling tower blowdown
Bill discusses how these sources have been successfully used, describes quality, quantity and design considerations, and describes how the use of these sources fits into Green Building.
