Install a rain barrel.

Oroville homes lose most of their winter roof runoff straight to the storm drain, water that could instead water a summer vegetable garden during the valley's dry months. A single rain barrel under a downspout captures that free water for later use.

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.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the downspout location and a stable, level spot for the barrel.
2. Set the barrel on a solid base, raised slightly for gravity flow.
3. Cut and fit the downspout diverter kit to route water into the barrel.
4. Install the overflow hose to direct excess water away from the foundation.
5. Fill-test the barrel with a hose to confirm no leaks.
6. Photograph the installed barrel and diverter.

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.
