Here it's not only legal, it's encouraged. I have two rain barrels - one captures rain off the house roof, the other off the garage. The rain that goes into the barrels is the same rain that would otherwise fall on my yard, and I merely store that very same water in the barrels and just put it on the yard later, when it isn't raining. I am unable to wrap my brain around the rationale for prohibiting rain barrels. It's the same damn water going to the same damn place! The only thing that changes is when it goes there!
