A rainwater harvesting system for Acacia Park: help our neighbors in Bristol

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,300. It will serve about 531 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 $3,300 goes: • Materials: $2,500 • Permits and inspections: $250 • Safety equipment and signage: $180 • Tools hire and delivery: $370 I hope life is good to you.
