Does this bother anyone else? I finally started collecting rain water in 5 gallon pails and using it to flush the toilet. Would you buy bottled water to piss in? I've lowered my water and sewer bills significantly this year. I've decided that I'm not too busy - or lazy - to collect free water, and I'm beating the town water supplier. The sky gives you free water, and you watch it run down the street. Makes no sense. If there was free food coming down from the heavens, wouldn't you be out with a basket collecting it?

What area of the country do you live in? In general, places that have plentiful rainfall also have cheap water. In places like CA that has expensive water, the rain fall is also too scarce to do what you are doing.
