Yes

A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:
As part of the Van Ness Campus plaza deck renovation, a stormwater harvest system was installed at the Van Ness Campus with the goal of capturing up to one inch of water during a rainfall event. Harvested rainwater is collected in a series of six cisterns with a combined capacity of 18,000 gallons. Captured storm water will be used for a new water feature constructed as part of the renovation as well as for on-site irrigation. In the future, UDC hopes to use harvested non-potable water for sewage conveyance in a number of campus buildings.
