Collecting rain water at home [View all]

[SHRED]

i find it odd that whenever I go to a comment section of articles about how to build a rain barrel system there are many people posting that it's illegal. It's not Illegal with one exception and that is Colorado where legislation is currently working is way through to make it legal.

They usually post up about our "tyrannical government" and to "resist". And they post unrelated articles not about rooftop collection. The Harrington case in Oregon is a favorite even though it's about illegal pond making.


Here is a good source of rain water rooftop collection laws and regs.

Collect away folks and remember to go big if you can. 1"of rain on 1,000 sq ft of roof equals 600 gallons.

Here's my 205 gallon Bushman. I wish I had room for a bigger tanks. My garden loves this water.
