For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $450, and the remaining cost is $4,350. It will serve about 181 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $4,350 goes: • Materials: $3,450 • Permits and inspections: $195 • Safety equipment and signage: $410 • Tools hire and delivery: $295 If you're reading this, thank you.
