For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,900. It will serve about 244 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,900 goes: • Materials: $2,050 • Permits and inspections: $200 • Safety equipment and signage: $330 • Tools hire and delivery: $320 Every share and every dollar helps. - Colette

                        Thinking of you and your family, Colette. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Limoges.
