[Rain Tenaqiya <raincascadia@yahoo.com>]

Every time I research rainwater catchment, the opinion is that rainwater will 
almost always be better than treated municipal water, unless you live in a 
heavy industrial zone.  In that case, there are still treatment options that 
may be more sustainable than what the government does.  One of the main 
reasons that rainwater is better is that it is not chlorinated.  Even the EPA 
has admitted that chlorinated water creates significant health problems.  
There are always organic compounds in water.  When you add chlorine, you are 
creating biocides, just like the pesticide companies do.  The chloride atoms 
substitute for hydrogen atoms in the organic molecules and create long-lived 
poisons.  Yuck!

Steve, et. al. - Here is a start, just a start, of a [non-]comprehensive PC
booklist that we hand out. It is meant to be a solid beginner to
intermediate list - I know there are lots and lots of adds. Hope it is
useful.
