Several months ago, there was a thread about property owners not being allowed to keep their rain water.
In Colorado they tax your cistern because they say the rain belongs to the state; in Maryland they tax you on the rain runoff from your roof ... says it goes into the drain system they put in. In OR some farmer was fined or something because they said he had a water storage pond. He says it’s a natural depression where rain collects. Have to leave it to Democrats to come up with novel ways of taxing.
