I thought Oregon was just one big safe space full of vegetables and bicycles.....
How can any water coming from a lake called Lake Detroit be bad?
I wonder if this explains their recent insanity?
In the Great Lakes that is mainly because of the massive amounts of fertilizer used for corn. Ethanol is the greenie solution to oil and wrecks havoc on waterways.
WOW!!!
Sounds like a good lynching plan is in need.
Good luck!
What are you talking about? You can’t have a rain barrel? You got a link or something? Never heard of that!
I think you mean “reeks havoc.”
(wink)

In some states like Colorado, people go to jail for collecting rain from their roof. It doesn’t belong to you, says the government!
a run-in with a Washington County deputy and the Commonwealth Attorney for the County
who both made it quite clear that doing so was a felony offense.
When I was a kid, we were all going to be eating algae in the future. It’s scientific, don’t you know.
A friend's dog jumped into a lake rimmed with blue green algae this spring and the dog had to be IMMEDIATELY taken to the vet. The dog suffered some damage even with the brief exposure.
Even small exposures (as little as 1-2 licks), can potentially result in fatal poisoning! A vet writes at the link below that a dog that had never been out to a lake, ended up dying of liver failure. The cause? The owners left a used, old, empty fish tank out on the deck. Over months, it accumulated rain water. One day, the dog drank out of this moldy, algae-filled tank, and unfortunately was accidentally poisoned by blue-green algae.
This is all I can find in the Virginia code:
§ 32.1-248.2. Use of rainwater and reuse of gray water.
A. The Department shall develop by January 1, 1999, guidelines regarding the use of gray water and rainwater. The guidelines shall describe the conditions under which gray water and rainwater may appropriately be used and for what purposes. The guidelines shall include categories of used water, such as types of used household water and used water from businesses, which are appropriate for reuse. The guidelines shall include a definition of gray water that does not include used toilet water.
B. The Department, in conjunction with the Department of Environmental Quality, shall promote the use of rainwater and reuse of gray water as means to reduce fresh water consumption, ease demands on public treatment works and water supply systems, and promote conservation.
1998, c. 155.
What were you trying to do?
Well Washington County obviously went full-on tyrannical then.
Of course, both of those individuals knew that my knowledge of Virginia law (at the time) was very weak, having just moved from Texas.
A lawyer and a cop who lied to a citizen. It’s an outrage! /S
We had gov’t supplied water, but the property was “slumping” and in danger of destroying the water pipes.
What I wanted to do was have several barrels catching the runoff from the house, in case of emergency.
Seemed reasonable to me, but not to them apparently
It must be Trump and Republicans fault! That is what we were told in Flint Michigan when they had toxic water!
When did this come on line?
