Yes — Oregon allows rainwater harvesting, including systems that collect rain from a roof into barrels or larger cisterns. Oregon’s Building Codes Division specifically recognizes rainwater-harvesting systems, ranging from simple rain barrels for gardens to larger systems that can supply substantial household water. �

The important distinction is what you want to do with the water:
🌧️Collect rainwater from your roof: generally allowed.
🌱 Use it for watering gardens/landscaping: common use.
🚽 Use it inside the house: possible, but the system has to meet Oregon plumbing/building requirements. �

🥤 Use it as drinking water: much more complicated because treatment and plumbing requirements apply.
💧 Oregon's general water-rights laws can be complicated because Oregon generally requires authorization to use water from many sources, but rainwater harvesting has specific provisions and shouldn't automatically be treated the same as taking water from a stream or groundwat
