Clear the outside AC condensate drain outlet before it backs up, the public library serving Bay City, the public library.

this library's air conditioner drips real gallons of water a day out through its condensate line, but nobody has ever looked at the pipe's own outdoor end. Before any of that water can be captured, the line's existing outdoor discharge point has to be found and confirmed clear, without ever opening or re-plumbing the line itself, so nothing backs up into the building.

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

staff permission + before/after discharge-point photos + free-flow confirmation + 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. Locate the primary condensate drain line's existing outdoor discharge point, the spot where it already exits the wall or the outdoor unit and drains onto the ground, and photograph it as found. Confirm with library staff how the discharge point is currently handled, then act.
2. 2. Confirm the unit is running, or run a cup of water down the accessible outdoor end, and watch the discharge point for free flow; note whether water is currently pooling or backing up.
3. 3. Hand-clear any visible blockage (dirt, algae, an insect nest) at the outdoor discharge point only, never opening, cutting, or re-plumbing the line itself, and never touching its connection to the air handler indoors.
4. 4. Confirm water runs freely from the discharge point after clearing, photograph the flowing outlet, and confirm a clear overflow path away from the foundation remains open.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded confirmation from library staff
• Before photo of the discharge point as found
• Photo or video confirming water runs freely after clearing
• Confirmation that no cutting, drilling, or re-plumbing occurred and the indoor connection was never touched

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.
