    Don't drink water as the fish poop in it and George Washington took a bath in it.

    Don't all beverage makers do that? How about bottled water. I'm in Arizona and they don't bottle that water here.

    Yes, I used the Coors example because citizens of that state cannot legally collect rainwater while Coors can patent and export the stuff

    Making beer out of water certainly isn't wasting it, even if it is Coors.

    That is a stupid law just like thousands of stupid laws states and fedgov have. I doubt prosecuting people for using the rainwater is a priority. People and businesses in Colorado pay for the water they use. Colorado has a lot of water but its still expensive. I thought when I moved here to Arizona water would be expensive but I pay less than 25% of what I did in Colorado.

    That smacks of something being wrong. BTW shouldn't water be free?

    Just kind off on a tangent, but, CO and those states are being hit now, with an extra hot heat wave. Now, not supporting the climate change debate one way or the other, OH has had record LOWS in their area, so perhaps there IS a connection.

    Municipalities are often even worse abusers of liberty than the feds are if you can imagine that
