The Liberty vacant lot needs a rainwater harvesting system - Ming's neighborhood project

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,650. It will serve about 423 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $3,650 goes: • Materials: $2,950 • Permits and inspections: $280 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $120 Glad we found this place.
