Empty and reseal the AC condensate catch container on a mosquito-safe schedule, the public library near Bay City, TX.

A sealed container stops being a water-saving fix and starts being a mosquito problem the moment it sits full and unused; Aedes mosquitoes can complete a life cycle in about a week of standing water in a Texas summer, so the container has to be emptied or used well inside that window, every time, not just once.

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

photo of emptied, resealed container + logged date/interval + mosquito-tight 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. Check the container's fill level and confirm the mosquito-tight lid or mesh is still fully seated with no gaps. Confirm with library staff how the container schedule is currently handled, then act.
2. 2. Empty the container by using its water on ornamental plantings or draining it, within days of it filling, never letting it sit full and untouched.
3. 3. Rinse the container's interior if any sediment or algae film has formed, and reseat the lid or mesh fully.
4. 4. Photograph the emptied, resealed container and log the date, so the next round has a real interval to check against rather than a guess.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded confirmation from library staff
• Photo of the emptied, resealed container
• Logged date confirming the interval since the last round
• Confirmation that the lid or mesh was fully reseated with no gaps

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.
