Empty the standing water around invited colonia homes after the floods recede.

RGV colonias flood shallow and often, and the water that lingers in containers, tires, and low spots afterward drives some of the highest mosquito pressure in Texas, in a region where local dengue and Zika transmission has actually happened. Tip-and-toss rounds after each rain event cut breeding at the source. It is simple, repeatable work that protects whole blocks.

Pay

$160 proposed

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Photo tally of emptied containers per yard

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. After a rain event, visit each invited home and walk the yard with the host.
2. Tip out and remove or invert every water-holding container; drill drainage holes in kept containers with consent.
3. Mark low spots that pond repeatedly and discuss simple fill or grading with the host for a future visit.
4. List any ponded area too large to fix by hand for a report to county vector control.
5. Photograph cleared sources and the tally sheet with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photos of cleared sources with GPS and date
• Per-yard tally sheet photo
• Note of reported large ponding areas

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
