I don't know. I don't think the water police have enough resources to track down barrel-orderers ... yet. They don't even have enough manpower to ticket wasteful sidewalk-waterers, and I think (hope!) they'll target them first. Um, he has an inherent knowledge of obscure water law? I don’t know.

That is beyond ridiculous. I had no idea... and if I'm ever ticketed for pouring gray water on my plants, I'm going to plead ignorance. How did Mr. Cheap find that info in the first place?? And if you mail-order a rain barrel anyway, will the water police track you down? The mind boggles... Whoa. That is beyond ridiculous.

As for the statement in the link about this being common everywhere east of the Mississippi, I know that is not the case in Texas (rain collecting is a big deal in the central part of the state), and I have seen it in other states, but maybe they are in violation of their laws.

Read The Milagro Beanfield War for a humorous (yet true) view!

It's <i>illegal</i> to re-use water you've paid for? And I get two for the price of one. It's <i>illegal</i> to collect your own? Because someone else has the rights to the water that falls from the sky? Has the world gone insane? Im sorry, but that’s got to be one the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.
