I watched some documentary the other day and it said somethong about that it is illegal to collect rainwater in the USA, is that true?

...land of the free and the home of the brave!

ilnjscb · 02-27-2011, 04:12 AM

no - that film is good though and has a point. The rain thing was a south american country.

StariaMarco · 02-27-2011, 04:22 AM

dont know but i know that you must pay in germany for rainwater. For a larger roof you have to pay more

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.

Check out this Youtube video of a news report out of Salt Lake City, Utah, about the issue. It's Illegal in Utah to divert rainwater without a valid water right, and Mark Miller of Mark Miller Toyota, found this out the hard way.

Yep and all the people with wells are having them filled in and buying bottled water

WebairGerard · 02-27-2011, 07:59 AM

have not heard that as of yet. I have heard of local districts not allowing people access to natural springs and wells due to fear of chemicals in water from pesticides, fertilizers, etc.

It depends on state to state. Rainwater harvesting laws have been around for a long long time, and have very specific regulations for very specific reasons.

It says "Illegal without valid water right", not "illegal" you crazy Canadian. Your foreigners have your noses stuffed so far up Americas ass that I can see why you would miss that.

Why would/should one need to obtain a permit to collect water that falls on YOUR roof???

No it's not true and if such a law existed it would either be at the state or local level. There are actually very few laws that apply to the "US" as a whole federally. You could have something be illegal in 49 states but legal in one. Prostitution is a good example. Only legal in Nevada and only is parts of Nevada. So while technically prostitution is illegall in the US for all intents and purposes its not illegal on the FEDERAL level. Drinking age limit is another. It's 21 in every state but it's not a federal law. Any state can lower the age below 21 if they want.

Water is the key to live. And in some areas they are running out of it.

Oil isn't going to be the king thirty years from now. Water is. Some states are already fighting each other in court for it.

Conservation... If it wasn't regulated our lakes and rivers and shit would be disappearing like in other countries. I like weed. It's like like a hunting or fishing licence, sure the animals are free and we all need to eat them to survive but if you let everybody go kill whatever they wanted all willy nilly there wont be nothing left.

As far as I know, many states have already sold that water off to corporations like Nestle, Coke etc.

Nestle, comes in and TAKES the water, several states they don't even pay for it.

wdsguy · 02-27-2011, 04:22 PM

I highly doubt this is true, maybe its a state law.

TheDoc · 02-27-2011, 04:27 PM

Our HOA doesn't allow it, but some of the other neighborhoods with older houses have roof collectors. And some states have entire neighborhoods that are off the grid, so chances are it's not illegal, at least outside of cities.

Conservation? I doubt it - one would expect that someone is collecting rainwater off their roof to use in their garden, or flush their loos, or to do their laundry with. This is water they would have used from the network anyway. It's just cutting out all the expensive stuff like water purification, and treatment with nasty chemicals for stuff that doesn't need treated, purified water.

PR_Glen · 02-28-2011, 12:28 PM

there's no shortage of water on this planet. there are shortages in places where there shouldn't be people in the first place maybe...

converting salt water into drinking water may be too expensive right now, but when in need? that will change. We adapt, just like everything else in nature.

dyna mo · 02-28-2011, 12:32 PM

if you are collecting rainwater, make sure and limit how much you drink/bath with as it does not contain flouride.
