When I lived in Ft. Collins, CO we were prohibited from installing rain barrels. Apparently in CO you don't "own" the water that falls on your own roof.

I remember reading something about that. Cisterns and any type of collect and hold systems are illegal. That seems like actual government overreach.

This brings to mind... I read somewhere there was a proposal in California that would tax water pumped from the ground by wells on private property.

How can collecting rain water be prohibited?

Easy. If you do it, a guy shows up with a gun and forces you to stop.

State law has actually changed recently to allow you to have up to a combined 110 gallons of rain collection provided it's collected from the roof of a primary residence. Still a pretty small amount of water, but progress!
