    Collecting Rainwater Now Illegal in Many States ???

    Is this true ? If it is its crazy as fuck

    Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I’m about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials,that rain belongs to someone else.

    As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from “diverting” water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

          That is the craziest thing I have ever heard The water guy on the video said that even the girl collecting water and using it for her plants is illegal and she should have some bullshit water rights thingy but they wont go after "small fish"

          That is crazy when you are collecting water from your own roof.

            There's no Fluoride in rainwater, it's important to protect people's teeth by forcing them to use the main water supply......or Not

            Some are saying that the Feds are after lists of customers from a food storage facility.

            If people are storing food and collecting rainwater it's a whole lot harder to control them; ideally you need to be able to put whatever you like in their water supply (e.g. Fluoride, Lithium), and for them to follow you around when you hold up a Scooby Snack

              Next they'll be complaining when you piss on a tree rather than into a toilet.

              Around here, new houses MUST have a rainwater tank and collection system, it is permitted, and mandated...

                Definitely crazy! In the UK, national preservationists would have a field day


                Water butts save so much water in summer periods, for watering of gardens & much more when the frigging hose pipe bans are prominent

                  Or demanding you have to piss on the tree rather than in the toilet

                      Collecting rain water has been illegal forever. If you'd just educate yourself a little instead of looking at if out of context with no understanding of it.

                        They would never do that. How else would people inhale all the chemtrails?

                          Depends which state you're talking about; it's a law associated with many Western states

                            One of the prime examples. IIRC - Go research it yourself though.

                            Arizona gets pretty much all of it's water from the Colorado River. Arizona has almost NO water for itself, it gets it all from the river flowing in from the north.

                            So, the states to the north in which the Colorado River flows through - have laws about collecting rain water. Because that rain water needs to make it's way to the river. If you had too many people collecting the water instead Arizona and the people living there would have serious serious issues.

                            Just go research it yourself, it's not that hard. I'll never understand why so many people go watch a youtube video and suddenly have some moronic idea about what is happening in the world. How do you get through life believing every little thing that is told to you?
