I have been reading where collection of rainwater for personal use has become illegal in many states. At first I thought this was a joke being spread around but, after a little research, I have found it to be true. There is a good article about this at Natural Health News and Scientific Discoveries - NaturalNews.com and verifies another infringement by the government. A couple of months ago, I also read where some western states are also requiring the registration of private vegetable gardens. This seems like Big Brother is over-stepping his bounds and we are getting screwed again, or still. How long will the people of this country stand for the loss of control over our lives? In case some doubt the water requirements, I have attached a copy of a Utah application for collection of rainwater. Rainwater Harvesting Registration - Utah Division of Water Rights
Utah.gov Online Services Agency List Business.Utah.gov
