A community-led a solar-powered water pump at the old Cedar bus depot that will serve 290 neighbors.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Cedar bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 290 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $350 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
• Materials: $280
• Safety equipment and signage: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jannat.
Sure. The biggest one is tools hire and delivery, $60. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Ludhiana.
Hope things get better soon, Jannat. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
rooting for you, Jannat. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings!
