A rainwater harvesting system: a volunteer-led effort in Surat

For eight 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 Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 339 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $165 • Permits and inspections: $60 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Tools hire and delivery: $105 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
