This story is VERY confusing. Are you talking ground "settled" storm water, or water directly from the sky & stored in rain-barrels? The rain-barrel water would be FAR cleaner & very easy to filter.
I miss the days when journalists didn't have to be cute and perky. Just deliver the news please. Don't try and be an entertainment program. Plus, you make it sound like the rain water is dirty. Collecting it directly from the sky is not the same as what you are reporting here.
It should be pretty obvious that storm water is contaminated with a lot of nasty and toxic things. I thought this was going to be about what's in rainwater that falls from the sky before it hits the ground. That would be more interesting to know.
So not really rainwater from the sky...?

Rainwater running through 10 blocks of storm sewer pipes to a testing station is not rainwater anymore. Do you hire journalists at your station?
This segment was pretty pathetic. They just want to give you the idea rainwater is toxic.

Listen to all that just to not hear any of the test levels of toxins in the water fascinating great reporting not🤯
