The past eight years haven’t just tumultuous for Americans in terms of division, but also in terms of the government overreaching its seamlessly endless grasp on the country. First there was the events on the Bundy Ranch, which drew quite a bit of national attention revolving around farmers and land that that government claims they own simply because it’s there and they can. And then there are things that aren’t covered by the media, like the couple in Oregon who are being told that they need to tear out a two acre pond that they didn’t even build.
According to the Jackson County Watermaster’s Office, Jon Carey and his wife don’t have any water rights to his pond, which was built forty years ago, long before he bought it. The property is located off of Butte Falls Highway, and was purchased by the Carey family two and half years ago. Joe and Sabrina Carey have fought with Jackson County Watermaster Larry Menteer over the issue, who says that he’s opposed because of the precedent it would set. So there you have it. The government now owns whatever water happens to collect on your property.
That’s not even the worst part about it.

Big government needs to be taken down a few pegs!!!! Maybe letters to your governor, senator etc may help!!! Go to the office that says that you have to remove your pond and simply ask what steps need to be taken to keep your pond! There @re always exceptions to every rule, believe me, they will have a list of hoops!!! Make sure you have all the documented proof that this pond has been there for decades! Even go back in the city codes to see what rules existed then! You should have the law on your aides but the gov is trying to beat down the citizens and it’s time we all stood up and YELLED…
NO MORE!! Good luck
Plenty of states think that! And what gets me is in san Francisco and l.a. rivers are concreted under the cities to the ocean and that water isn’t EVEN used!!!! Yet you can’t collect any!!!! BS!
It’s because you live in DEmocRAT state !
Who said progressive liberals ever made sense?

Tell them come and get it! Call them tell them to get their water out of you’re hole……Send them a storage bill.
That is just plain ridiculous!!!! they bought the property with the pond already on it! It is theirs!!!!!!
That is because the liberals have not thought of a way to “tax”, rainwater YET!!!
The government owns everything. Property tax is your rental payment. If you have something they want, good luck.
This is terrible!
