Plant a garden bed on an existing permitted greywater outlet.

Where a public garden or civic building in Lebanon already has a permitted greywater system, the outlet often ends in a mulch basin nobody planted. With the steward's written permission, and only on a system that is already permitted and already running, build out the receiving landscape: mulch basins sized and shaped at each outlet, regionally native or edible ornamental species planted at the basin edge rather than in the flow, and signage naming the water. No plumbing is touched, no outlet is moved, and no food crop is planted where the water contacts the edible part.

$210 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

written permission plus the existing permit reference, GPS, before and after photos, basin dimensions per outlet, species list with counts, and signage in place

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.

Bring

• GPS phone and camera
• the utility's recycled water reports and the state reuse permit records for the inventory rung
• cistern or barrels, a level load rated base, inlet screen, first flush diverter, sealed lid and overflow fitting
• level, tape measure, hand tools and gloves
• non potable labels and any signage the authority requires
• mulch, regionally native or edible ornamental plants for the greywater rung

Steps

1. 1. Establish authority: the steward's written permission for anything on a site, and for a greywater packet the EXISTING permit or approval reference for the system, with its issuing authority. A system with no permit is not worked on; it is routed to the authority.
2. 2. For an inventory, read the utility's recycled water reports and the state reuse permits first, then walk public parks and medians recording a GPS waypoint and a photo for every purple pipe, purple valve box or posted recycled water sign, and finally name the nearby public sites still irrigating with drinking water.
3. 3. For a catchment, measure the roof area the downspout serves, choose a tank size against that area and the local annual rainfall from a cited source, and set a level, load rated base capable of holding the full tank.
4. 4. Fit the screened inlet and the first flush diverter, seat the sealed lid, and route the overflow away from the foundation with its own screen. The downspout is used as it is: it is not cut, extended above reach or re-routed, and nothing is connected to any building plumbing.
5. 5. Label the tank non potable in plain sight, install any signage the authority requires, and photograph the base, the inlet, the diverter, the lid, the overflow and the label separately.
6. 6. For a greywater packet, shape and mulch the receiving basin at each existing outlet without moving or opening the outlet, then plant at the basin edge rather than in the flow, keeping every edible part out of contact with the water. Sign the bed with the water it receives.
7. 7. Name the steward who will maintain the tank or the beds, and record what maintenance means: screens checked, diverter emptied, tank drained before a hard freeze, mulch topped up.

What counts as done

• The steward's written permission and the existing greywater permit or approval reference for the system, with its issuing authority
• A GPS waypoint and before and after photos of each mulch basin, with its dimensions and mulch depth
• Species list with counts and where each is planted relative to the outlet, with the rule that no edible part contacts the water stated and shown
• A photo of the signage naming the water at the bed, and the steward's confirmation of who maintains it

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
