They say they have already been using significantly less water than their state allotment, and they are still going to be under the new allotment by a large amount. Yet they are still going to charge more for water in order to encourage even less water use.

People already spent time and money to use less water, so much so, they say they are fine in a drought, but are getting punished anyway. These people need new neckties.

I think you would need a pond or somewhere to store it efficiently. They have tanks that can store that amount https://www.tankandbarrel.com/plastic-poly-vertical-water-storage-tanks-pm10000-bushman-vertical-water-storage-tank-10000-gallon-p-3221.html but they're pretty expensive. Although, I doubt you would need such a large system to buffer those 14000 gallons unless all the rain falls in a very short period of time.

The water is useful for irrigation. Dripline systems are pretty efficient I'm doing a 10x20 ft garden area and it seems to need about 50 gal/week. If I was to capture the water on my roof I could do 5x the areas on just the roof water alone.

Not really practical given the cost of water in this area, but it's neat to try and go closed-loop as much as possible.
