Why is it illegal to collect rain water?

@Caz82 dunno

@Caz82 Many people just use it to water a garden.

@Ferise1 I suppose you could use it for toilet/heating if you collected enough and had a decent sized tank.

Seems like it would still be a lot of hassle to save not much money.

@KentuckyFriedFloozy yes in some countries but I don’t remember which ones

@Ferise1 None of the states flat out prohibited rain water collecting. They just limit how and how much you can collect and what you use it for. Its usually to keep people from building giant rainwater collectors in arid regions and diverting all the limited rain fall from the environment. Some states just restrict you from using it for drinking water because of cistern contamination

@royalblue1193 it’s not as bad as I thought though, I heard this years ago and I never really researched it and I thought it was disgusting. But after some research it’s very rarely illegal.
