The old Cedar bus depot needs a rainwater harvesting system - Aubree's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Columbus are raising $3,050 for a rainwater harvesting system at the old Cedar bus depot.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Ohio, United States2,226 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Cedar bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,050.
It will serve about 272 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Materials: $2,750
• Permits and inspections: $135
• Safety equipment and signage: $165
With deep gratitude,
Aubree

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Comilla so I could bring a meal. Take care
keep going, Aubree. Great idea, hope you get there. Sent it to 10 people at work.
Take care, Aubree. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Prayagraj so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Aubree. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Aubree. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best.
