Rainwater harvesting legal in Georgia. Rain barrels and cisterns permitted. International Plumbing Code Appendix governs indoor non-potable use. No Duluth-specific restrictions.
Georgia is a rainwater-harvesting-friendly state. Residential rain barrels for outdoor irrigation require no permit. Larger cisterns (typically over 500 gallons) and systems plumbed into the building for non-potable uses (toilet flushing, laundry) must comply with Georgia Amendments to the International Plumbing Code (Appendix C — Gray Water / Rainwater). Cross-connection control and proper labeling required. Duluth Building Department permits larger systems.
Unpermitted plumbed systems: stop-work order and fines. Cross-connections to potable water: public health violation, immediate correction required.
