As I said earlier, they have changed it. Before 2005 or so it was illegal to collect rain water on your property.

More food for thought. I found this video. They measured rain water and tap water. I'd be interested in what RO water typically measures at for hardness and ph. If a low ph is the only concern and the salt mix will buffer this or it can be buffered... what else needs to be considered?
Of course! Just imagine if everyone start to collect rain water.....the government will lose revenue from water usage.Don't forget in some states ( Washington ) it's very illegal to collect rain water on your property.
That would be the trigger to move or never live there for me. If they can regulate open water they can screw up anything. So is it illegal to collect all of the snow?Don't forget in some states ( Washington ) it's very illegal to collect rain water on your property.

In Germany most roof water goes into the sewage system and throught the sewage treatment directly into streams and rivers. We even have to pay per square meter for additional sewage capacity.You don't want the government to try to protect a community resource (like well water) that everyone shares?
I just watched the video explaining that in detail - fascinating!@Fishy65 our rainwater collected goes through some massive amounts of filtration. The rainwater pulled from the cistern needs to be treated with bleach, then that water passes through a giant carbon tower, then through inline filters and finally to an RO unit.
What a stupid rule/regulation. The same as in Medieval Europe. Everything belongs to the king. The deer and the wood in the forest. Once can get hang for poaching of the king's deer.Don't forget in some states ( Washington ) it's very illegal to collect rain water on your property.
Water underground, stream, river that flow though your land is one thing. Rain water fallen from the air on OUR LANG before it get absorb into the ground is another. In addition to not enforceable, and the small volume involved make that regulation stupid. Other than the government, I don't see any one individual or group own enough land to make this regulation remotely relevant.You don't want the government to try to protect a community resource (like well water) that everyone shares?
