Install a rain barrel on an invited older home.

Old-town Suisun City homes drain their roofs straight to streets that back up toward the slough, while summer watering strains the same households' bills. A rain barrel on one downspout captures winter roof water for the dry months and takes a little pressure off the lowest streets in the county.

Pay

$220 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

Before/after downspout photos plus leak-free fill test

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. Confirm barrel placement with the occupant at a downspout on firm, level ground.
2. Set a level paver base and cut the downspout to fit the diverter kit.
3. Install the diverter, overflow hose pointed away from the foundation, and a screened lid.
4. Fill-test with a hose and check every joint for leaks.
5. Photograph the finished installation and walk the occupant through winter use.

What counts as done

• Before and after photo of the downspout and barrel
• Photo of the screened lid and overflow routing
• GPS-tagged, dated photo with occupant consent noted

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.
