RE: How to recycle rain water for use at home
I don't understand how homeowners can put up with the idea that rain falling on their roof doesn't belong to them. And it is silly to say that the water is being "used up" by the people with rain collectors. They're not selling it to Los Angeles! They're using it to water their lawns and gardens, in which case it goes into the ground like it would have anyway. Or they're using it to flush their toilets and do their laundry, in which case it goes into the sewage system instead of the storm sewers. So the only loser is the sewage utility, which bills people according to their water usage.
