If you’re looking to save on your water bill and become a bit more self-sufficient you might consider building a rainwater collection system.
The video on the next page provides excellent instruction for a simple, single-barrel system that anyone can build.
Sadly, you must check with local laws before building such a system as some cities and towns have labeled rainwater collections as ‘stealing water’.

I’ve been collecting rain water for years. We don’t drink it (although probably harmless) but for all other applications—bathing, laundry, dishes, flushing toilets—it’s great!
Que qurioso
just don’t let the feds.know or you’ll. be seeing. the big bad E.P.A. and more Obama Nazis /fascist police .
A person out west got sued by the EPA for collecting rain water. Seriously
a man in Oregon is serving a 30 day sentence for catching rainwater for his personal use
If those $#%&!@*S can’t charge you for what falls out of the sky,then they say its illegal for you to collect it. Very SAD!
Get the Fuk out of here!!!! Stealing water?!!!! Pffffff please!!!!!! Since when do we pay for it to rain?!!!
RAIN WATER COMES FROM GOD! IT’S HIS FIRST, THEN EVERYONE’S! NEXT THING THEY WILL BE SAYING IS, THE FOOD IN YOUR GARDEN IS THEIR’S BECAUSE THE RAIN AND SOIL BELONGS TO THEM! WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE A STAND IF THAT HAPPENS!
Catching rain water is controlled by state not federal laws. Contact your state government to change these laws if you think they are unfair. It has to do with state water rights. As far as the EPA changes currently under review you can read about it at. http://www2.epa.gov/uswaters/definition-waters-united-states-under-clean-water-act. Make your voice heard.
pretty soon they will fine you for breathing
