Find out what the splash pad does with its water, and design the fix if it wastes it, Newman Park.

Many splash pads are built once-through, sending every gallon straight to the storm drain after a single pass over a child's feet, and Newman Park's own splash pad has never had its water system named in writing, so nobody knows whether it is one of them.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

documented finding on the pad's water-system type + photo of the vault exterior and discharge point + delivered proposal where once-through

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Review the splash pad's own as-built plans, permit records, or equipment-vault signage from outside the vault, without opening any electrical panel or pump enclosure, to determine whether the pad is once-through-to-storm-drain or already recirculating with its own filtration and disinfection loop.
2. 2. Document what the pad's water system actually does in plain language, naming it clearly as once-through or recirculating, with a photo of the vault exterior and any visible discharge point.
3. 3. If the pad is once-through, draft a scope and proposal for converting it to a recirculating filtration-and-disinfection loop, sized to the pad's own flow rate, referencing standard splash-pad recirculation practice.
4. 4. Deliver the finding and, where applicable, the retrofit proposal to the parks or facilities department, naming the follow-on licensed-contractor build.

What counts as done

• Written finding naming the splash pad's water system as once-through or recirculating
• Photo of the equipment vault exterior and any visible discharge point, taken without opening the vault
• For a once-through pad, a delivered scope and proposal for a recirculating retrofit
• Confirmation that no electrical panel, pump enclosure, or chemical container was opened or touched at this rung

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
