legality of water catchment
I've tried to research this online but seem to be finding conflicting information. Is it legal for a city dweller in CO to save water that falls on my roof for my garden? (assuming any water ever falls on my roof)...
Maybe. I just did a quick serch as I had been wondering about the same thing. I'm SOL as I'm city water.

Not only no, but F*** no! Pretty much every drop of water in Colorado is spoken for downstream. You are not allow to catch, divert or collect any water without explicit "water rights". If you buy land in the mountains in Colorado with a stream on your land, it is probably still not your water.
Sucks huh...

You can't catch it, and they will tax you for runoff. Beautiful
Catchment is only legal for those not able to have city water and No functional well.
Damndest thing I ever heard of -rain isn't free to use !!!
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
That's what I was thinking; you mean to tell me it's illegal to collect rain water? As if I'm taking that much in... It's not like I've got a 200 sq ft funnel over my property collecting as much as possible.Originally Posted by StagLefty

A New York Times piece on rain catchment down in Durango:

I though this was recently changed. Like within the last year. I may be wrong though. I will try to dig up the article.

If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!
