For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 554 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $500 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $25 • Materials: $430 • Permits and inspections: $45 I hope life is good to you. - Novi
