"Why is it illegal to harvest rainwater in CO?" Huge article in today's Inquirer (Science section) on the benefits of harvesting rainwater and the incentives here PA to do so. If CO has an old law left over from when rainwater was used to push out sewage, it may be time to change that law (stormwater and sewage have to have separate channels now) since many municipalities no longer want the expense of treating water that will just be used outside (gardens, washing cars, etc) Dorene (I miss my sig -- community garden coodinator, Phoenixville, PA) ------- Original Message ------- >From : CHERYL BORGEN[mailto:[email protected]] Sent : 5/4/2009 3:59:44 PM To : [email protected] Cc : Subject : RE: Re: [Community_garden] Watering plots in your community We might give this a try. Unfortunately, it is illegal to collect rainwater in Denver, CO! I'm game to try drip irrigation on a timer if we can afford it.
