The problem is as Americans we are use to endless water. Turn the tap water, flush the toilet water, Most of the world is not like that.
I’ve been on a number of threads about EMP and grid attacks and something no one talks about is if the power is only out for say a month that means no clean water and sanitary systems for a month even in a small city it would be a nightmare and it wouldn’t be long before various water borne diseases would run rampant.
There was a scene in an episode of ‘The Good Doctor’ a woman just over from Africa kept flushing the toilet in her ailing son hospital room and turned an said: “There’s always more water.”
Global warming, no doubt.
Caused by Trump agreeing to Putin’s racist orders to harm women!
Well crap they sell 50 gallon rain barrels at home depot.
Me and a lot of people I know are felons I guess.
Because if people have a system of collecting rainwater, this could thwart the elites’ plan to kill off the nine or ten digits of the population that get on their nerves.
One of their strategies for this future genocide is to withhold all sources of water.
You can eat mushrooms, but you have to pick the right ones!
No idea. There was also some bill passed to establish a fund for grants to promote harvesting and reuse. But apparently it was never funded.
However you are correct that it can be tricky. The problem boils down (ha ha) to where the water was collected from and where it will be used, and interconnection with potable water systems.
For example, collecting rainwater from streets, parking lots, and pavements is discouraged for potable use because of toxins. Rainwater from roofs and hard surfaces is deemed probably acceptable for potable use. Interconnection with potable systems will require a backflow valve to prevent rainwater from entering treated water system. Water for agricultural use does not have to follow the same guidelines.
Also mosquito and insect infestations must be addressed as well as possible micro organism contamination in potable supplies. Most older rural homes will actually have a cistern for water collection (mine does).
Generally it seems most of the regulations are common sense, and equivalent to the NEC electrical code.
Rainwater collection is encouraged in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Thanks for the information.
It chaps my @ss when an official lies to me.
Your ass must have been raw during ‘Obadman’s’ time in office!
Simple. $$$.
OMG, not in a Democratic state. Make sure the media does the same thing they did to the Governor of Michigan who fell victim to a lackluster Mayor and City Council who knew their water system was failing and did nothing.
Thousands of homes in Hawaii get their water from catchment. That government crazy as it is does not think they own the water from the sky.
bacteria laden water is the reason for beer and wine.
Morse drinks at least two pints per day
Here in Washington state they tax you to have a rain barrel! Not enough rain water here I guess!!?? They claim that the rain that you took would otherwise have gone into the ground and fed the creeks that hold the salmon, lead to drinking water reservoirs or to water wells. So it is basically stealing.
Of course most folks have a rain barrel in order to water their gardens - so the water still makes it back to the ground. No mater WHAT one does with the water, it makes it back into the natural water cycle somehow.
Next up - a tax on sunlight and wind!
I thought Oregon was a liberal PARADISE!?!?!?!
Can’t you sneak around and do it anyway? Like in Claremont Calif you had to get PERMISSION to cut off a DEAD LIMB. Better it fall and kill a bunch of kids walking down the sidewalk to the 4th of July celebration at the park on Indian Hill.... So our gardener said he would cut them down in the middle of the night if they posed a danger!
A huge one fell on 4th July 2013 across street from our house. Fortunately it was early in the day. a couple of hours later that huge limb as big as a tree would have killed a lot of people. It was over 10ft long. big around as a horse.
I suspect he actually meant “wreaks” havoc. :)
