RE: Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 12 entry

in #informationfinding • 7 years ago

Thank you for this information. I didn't know that the avg. life of a water plant is 20 years, ours here in my town has been going for at least 30+ although we have a new one that has just finished being built, we've had to boil water pretty much all last summer due to the building! Since then we have been flooding every time the river is up, which is right where the new plant is...
This is some great info and as far as a charity goes I would definitely want to contribute if you started up one, or as you stated if anyone does for that matter.

    Your welcome @charisma777

    • The plant I operate was built in 1974.
      • So obviously they can last longer with proper maintenance.
    • The 20 year life is what is used by funding organizations.
      • The regional plant I mention in the post was funded by USDA, our state Dept. of Natural Resources and some private funds.
        • To get funding, the 20 year life must be used when running financials.

    The cool thing about Steemit is; charity can go direct to people in need.

    • Rather than through a non-profit that skims too much off the top to support advertising for donations and wages...
      • I bet if that company started an account here on steemit,
        they could sell a lot of pumps
        to people in need
        paid for by fellow steemians...
        • The cool thing is it would all be transparent.

      Actually that would be an awesome idea, for companies to offer their services paid by others. They definitely would make more sales, and the transparency would be the best part. It is unfortunate that some of the not for profit funds are not spent in the correct fashion. Transparency would do away with so much theivery going on in companies as a whole.
