For three years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Lotus bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $75, and the remaining cost is $250. It will serve about 532 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $250 goes: • Materials: $140 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $25 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
