WE CREDIT 4.3: WATER USE REDUCTION FOOD WASTE SYSTEMS All fields and uploads are required unless otherwise noted.
ALL PROJECTS This static sample form has been modified for offline access. All sections of the form are visible. Sample forms are for reference only. Does project have food waste disposer systems? Yes
No
For all food waste disposer systems, the following requirements have been met: System uses cold water. System is equipped with a load sensing device that regulates the water use to 1 gpm in a noload situation, and 3 to 8 gpm in a full-load situation. System incorporates automatic time shutoff with ten-minute time-out system and a push button to reactivate. Upload WEc4.3-1. Upload equipment schedule, product cut sheets, or manufacturer's data for each food waste disposer system. Relevant information should be highlighted to demonstrate compliance for each system.

Does project building have pulpers, extractors, scrap basket or strainer-type systems? Yes
No
For all pulper, extractors, scrap basket or strainer-type systems, the following requirements have been met: Mechanical pulpers/extractors and mechanical scrapper systems use no more than 2 gpm of potable water, excluding end-of-day, wash-down cycles. Non-mechanical strainer (scrapper) baskets are not part of a flowing trough collection system connected to potable water at a rate greater than 2 gpm. System incorporates automatic time shutoff with ten-minute time-out system and a push button to reactivate. Upload WEc4.3-2. Upload equipment schedule, or product cut sheets/ manufacturer's data for each pulper, extractor, scrap basket or strainertype system. Relevant information should be highlighted to demonstrate compliance for each applicable system.
