A rainwater harvesting system: a volunteer-led effort in Halifax
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $3,550 for materials.
🇨🇦 B5J 7X6, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada775 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,550.
It will serve about 427 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in August and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Materials: $2,550
• Permits and inspections: $135
• Safety equipment and signage: $370
• Tools hire and delivery: $495
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Wayne. Hope this works out for you.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Surrey
