Part two of the article mentions “Although largely unregulated for private residential usage, there are some state and local municipalities that have enacted legislation regarding RWH.”
I’m pretty sure Colorado does not allow rain water harvesting.
Where I live you have to get a permit for putting a rain barrel under your downspout. Probably because rainwater is so scarce around these parts - Western Washington!

I heard that a while ago. In a case like that, you need to divert your water indoors or underground, if possible, so that the nannies will not see it. Pumping water from an underground tank requires very little energy (and dollars) relative to the cost of utility water...something like 1% of the cost.
