[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 55407, member: 692"] Re: critical thought I'm of the understanding (in this US state) that rain water which falls from the sky on to a property owner's property is not the property owner's water to utilize as they see fit, especially if that water is utilized by said property owner to the exclusion of the public having access (rights) to said water. If-fact, the only legal water available locally (as I understand it) is that which is either pumped from a licensed private well, or is metered from a water district... and there's a move locally to meter water pumped from a private well. As I understand it, rain water (in this US state) is public property, therefore all access to said public property, including rain water, for personal (or business use) shall be metered, and charged for accordingly, the proceeds of which to be returned to the public (or the remenits of which returned to the public after a suitable handling/adminstrative fee has been deducted... currently being somewhere north of 40% of GDP as I understand it). I suspect it would be fine to collect rain water off your roof to put in your cloths iron in this US state, if that water was purchased via a PUD water meter (which said meter is doubtfully available... besides hoops that would have to be jumped through to get the state to license the installation of said rain gutter water meter). My... what a tangled web we weave. [/QUOTE]
