3. Like anything else, it's legislated differently in different places. But it's usually OK.

The meme you talk about is a silly one but embraced and perpetuated by teabaggers as well as gullible but well meaning liberals.

It's like the stupid smart meter fear tactics.

Smart meters are not dangerous and are actually good for the environment.

People need to smarten up and do a little homework and, yes, harvest rainwater.

And they should do some research into greywater recycling.

That we use drinking water to flush toilets is stupid in the extreme.
