Fair enough. Running the water through a barrel of wood charcoal would prevent most of that, but I understand your concern. Does your roof water go into a municipal sewer?
With 2 large buildings, 24' x 48' garage and 28' x 48' equipment shed that I could collect water from large tanks would be great. Although the farm pond is about 1/3 of an acre and 8 to 12 ft deep I have had it run almost dry 2 years running back when I first moved here.
