HB16-1005 (Residential Precipitation Collection) hearing on Monday the 22nd.
From KWGN:
The bill would permit Coloradans to use no more than 2 rain barrels collecting a maximum of 110 gallons of rainwater. Read the full proposal here.
“In my opinion the bill is really straightforward. It allows you collect the rain that falls on your roof then maybe put it on your garden a little later,” Rep. Jesse Danielson, a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill said.
A similar measure was introduced last year but failed after some Republican senators expressed concern that collecting rainwater could deplete the water supply of rivers downstream and for the rural residents who rely on them.
