Over here we get charged because they have to take away or waste water. You can't get away with id because the rain has to go somewhere. If you can prove you capture 100% of it and none goes outside your property you get an exemption. It is impossible to prove.

Nope, did it in Hampshire. all my rainwater goes into a soak away as far as the council is cincerned and I get a rebate as a result. something like 50 quid a year I think...
