   No, we just call our electricity Hydro instead of Power since so much   
   of it is generated by hydro electric generators.   
      
   I wonder if your situation with not being allowed to collect water   
   on your property has to do with, if someone builds a pond on their   
   property and then you get heavy rain, all that stored water could   
   break through the banks and make the flooding in the area a lot worse..   
      
   Having a fee in the first place for runoff seems odd. It's not like you   
   have a lot of control over how much rain falls..
