@Moon @genmaicha I’m not clear on that, I do know that there is a very serious reason to not allow it. How would you authorize the barrels? Would we have rain restrictions based on drought level to stop the collection? What would that do to the system reducing water? Would there be issues with fatburgs accumulation at greater speed? These are all complicated questions.

The real problem is we don’t want to deal with our septic systems in any real way. So we have to bandaid it so it meets spec. But that does not stop the problem it just masks it till we realize we made a mistake.

These mistakes are evident in New Jersey. exceeding 10mg/L has the consequence of kidney damage and a myriad of other health problems. So we gotta deal with this one way or another. Maybe when we do that rain collection can come back.
