Man Gets Prison Sentence For Collecting Rainwater On His Own Property by veyronblog: 11:28pm On May 03, 2015 |
Harrington was attacked for having three “reservoirs” – ponds – on his large 170 acres of land. But the state claims that collecting water requires a permit from the state. One of these “reservoirs” – ponds – had been on his land for 37 years. He applied for the permit, which he saw as ridiculous. But the state first approved him in 2003, then denied him – reversing the previous decision. “They issued me my permits. I had my permits in hand and they retracted them just as arbitrarily, basically. They took them back and said ‘No, you can’t have them,’ so I’ve been fighting it ever since,” Harrington said. “Way back in 1925 the city of Medford got a unique withdrawal that withdrew all — supposedly all — the water out of a single basin and supposedly for the benefit of the city of Medford,” Harrington added, giving some history on the bizarre law. But he claims that there is no mention or prohibition of collecting rainwater. “The withdrawal said the stream and its tributaries. It didn’t mention anything about rainwater and it didn’t mention anything about snow melt and it didn’t mention anything about diffused water, but yet now, they’re trying to expand that to include that rain water and they’re using me as the goat to do it.” Tom Paul, the administrator of the Oregon Water Resources Department, says that the law doesn’t need to ban collecting rain water, because all of the water in the state is “public water,” which doesn’t actually mean the water belongs to the public, it means the government has claimed ownership of it. read more http://www.newsgoogle.net/2015/05/man-gets-prison-sentence-for-collecting.html

One of the most ridiculous laws, I have ever read about. Very dumb law! The law itself was 'vague'. It was not clearly defined going by the man's submission. He should be pardoned if he is a 'first offender'. Guess, they are just looking for scape-goat. |
