Set a sealed, mosquito-proof catch container.

With the discharge point running free, every gallon it drips in a Texas summer just disappears into bare ground. A sealed, insect-proof container set at or below the existing discharge point, with its own overflow, catches that water without ever touching or restricting the line above it.

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

before/after photos + mosquito-tight seal confirmation + fill-and-overflow test video + GPS

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. Confirm the discharge point is flowing and set the catch container's inlet AT OR BELOW that existing point, resting on a stable, level pad, never elevated to meet or restrict the line.
2. 2. Fit an insect-tight lid or mesh cover on every opening of the container, including the inlet where the drip enters, so no gap larger than standard mosquito mesh remains anywhere.
3. 3. Build in a positive overflow outlet on the container that always sits higher than the inlet fitting but routes away from the building, so the container can never back up toward the drain line above it.
4. 4. Photograph the finished setup, run water down the drain line to confirm the container fills and the overflow activates without any backup toward the discharge point, and label the container 'not for drinking'.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Before photo of the bare ground under the discharge point
• After photo of the installed, insect-proof, labeled container with its overflow
• Fill-and-overflow test video or photo showing the drain line never backs up
• Confirmation that every opening on the container is mosquito-tight

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.
