A community-led a rainwater harvesting system at the old Acacia bus depot that will serve 207 neighbors.
🇵🇱 Poznań, Greater Poland, Poland1,543 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,250.
It will serve about 207 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $1,250 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $85
• Tools hire and delivery: $170
• Materials: $995
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Stanisław.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. permits and inspections is the biggest at $85. Thanks, that means a lot.
Good luck, Stanisław. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Stanisław. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thinking of you, Stanisław. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
