This kind of reads like: Don't dig ditches... but seems like it could be interpreted quite insanely,no?

Uart, please chime in with your legal observations. Them is needed here. K thanks.

wtf


mentions rain barrels specifically too...

i did mention that in one latin american country where a US corporation privatized the water supply, they made it illegal to collect rainwater. at least that had a happy ending: the people revolted. in america we're a little too complacent for all that.

Water is the next oil. There's gonna be some crazy shit going down - just wait.

You didn't read it... the purpose of this bit of legislation is to REMOVE the permit requirement ALREADY in place.

Does the name Roseanadana mean anything to you?

Now I completely agree that we spend way too much time drinking sugar water, watching tee vee and being penetrated by the consumer culture, but simple legislature like this is not the enemy.

YOU are the enemy every time you shop at wallmart, drink cloaca-cola or Pisspee, or otherwise anally penetrate the public good with disposable consumerism.

: ) @ ^

i know i always anally penetrate the public good with renewable/reusable consumerism.

repeatedly.

Read it again then read it some more till you start to see the words that say that
(4) The department may permit by rule, under conditions appropriate
9 to the water resources inventory area, the use of rain barrels and
10 cisterns to collect rainwater intended to be put to a beneficial use on
11 the same property where the rainwater is captured. It dose not say at all that any one can just collect water any time that they want, it talks about them allowing you to collect water IF they permit it.NOTHING was removed only amended. Stop fucking reading some one else's interpretations and read it for your self.

yeah, what he said ^

^^How about you stop being such a Pollyanna about things borne by your lack of reading comprehension and inability to do even basic research.

The previous act had already regulated this activity since 1914. HISTORY. Fact, go read about it, it's easy to dig up.

Also read the section about the testimony and congressional record discussion about this bill from February 4, 2005. THAT WAS OVER 2 YEARS AGO. It amends a regulatory power that was in place prior to this act; they even talk about people being unsure if their rain barrels were covered since the older legislation covered in the DOE was so broadly worded.


I would definitely agree with you on fucking stopping reading someone else's interpretations and read it for yourself. And I counter, that you ought nurture a few synapses in the direction of critical thought....


Please. read this.

Senate Bill Report - 1 - SB 5113 summary digest
Summary of Substitute Bill: A provision is added to the Water Code that

specifically exempts

from the Water Code's mandatory permitting process the storage and beneficial use of

rain water collected in barrels and cisterns

where the water is intended to be put to use on the same property where the rain water is collected. The DOE is required to consult with local building permit agencies to monitor the installation of very large capacity rain water collection systems for any cumulative effect that the systems may have on ground water
recharge rates and potential impacts upon other well users from the same ground water source; however, the DOE is not required to issue a permit for such projects.
