Route the AC condensate container's overflow to a planting bed instead of the slab, the public library near Bay City, TX.

Right now the container's own overflow just spills onto bare ground or the slab; routing that overflow into a shallow planting bed instead puts the extra water to use exactly where a rain barrel's overflow already goes, without ever touching the primary condensate line itself.

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 + flow-test photo/video + 24-hour no-pooling 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. Confirm the container's existing overflow outlet, never the primary drain line, and its current spill point. Confirm with library staff how the overflow spill point is currently handled, then act.
2. 2. Dig a shallow, gently sloped channel, or route a short length of tubing, from the overflow outlet to a new or existing planting bed of non-edible, ornamental plantings, kept clear of the foundation.
3. 3. Grade the planting bed's inlet so water spreads and soaks in rather than pooling, and confirm the primary condensate drain line above stays completely untouched and unrestricted throughout.
4. 4. Test with a hose-simulated flow, photograph water reaching and soaking into the bed, and confirm no pooling remains 24 hours later.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded confirmation from library staff
• Before photo of the overflow spilling onto bare ground or the slab
• After photo of the routed channel or tubing reaching the planting bed
• Flow-test photo or video showing water soaking into the bed
• 24-hour no-pooling confirmation, plus confirmation that the primary drain line 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.
