State rain water/ gray water harvesting regulation

Makes sense that the government should regulate rainwater collection, as they regulate private wells and public water supplies. OTOH, makes me wish that the patriarchs had added a "right to keep and drink rain water" amendment.

I have resolved not to think of rainwater as poison falling from the sky, but to re-conceptualize it as freely available water that requires no more purification than does the water from a mountain brook.

I call it the "rain barrel half-full" approach.

Lots of vendors out there, too, including a seller of bottled rainwater .
