From Colorado Public Radio (Nathan Heffel):
After failing to pass the state legislature in 2015, Democratic lawmakers plan to again introduce a bill allowing the use of rain barrels for outdoor irrigation. Its sponsors say Colorado is the only state that outlaws the practice.
Rep. Jessie Danielson, D-Wheat Ridge, says the new bill will look similar to the one that failed last session, but she’s also working with opponents in hopes of better success in 2016.
