Many, many years ago an old man told my dad that the day would come when water would be more precious than oil. I think he knew what he was talking about.

That’s right this is CRAZY! I currently live in Utah and we are still trying to figure this ridiculous ruling out. We had been discussing making a rain barrel for our vegetable garden and then found out it’s not our rain water!
Great blog!

We had to sneak some graywater features into our new home – and I mean SNEAK. Don’t tell anyone!!! We just think it’s silly to send perfectly reusable bathwater thru our septic system. Is that too much to ask? Here in WA: Yes, it is. Good post, good info. Happy Fourth!! Bonnie

I agree with you completely. If water isn’t free, what is? The whole idea is ridiculous and obviously for monetary gain. We need to reclaim our country!

I wouldn’t worry about it if you’re using it for yourself. I think the laws were put in place for people who tried to save rainwater and then charge others.
