Repair the public drinking fountain, the Rainier Ave S / S Alaska St intersection, Columbia City, Seattle, WA 98118

This corner's public fountain has run dry for months — real civic access lost on a block where the summer heat now regularly breaks 90°F. Standard: Community-coordination standard, documentation-and-coordination-only; canonical hazard severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical). No repair authority. Proof: before/after photos + flow-test video + parts-replaced log + GPS Method (Community-coordination standard, documentation-and-coordination-only; canonical hazard severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical). No repair authority.): 1. Photograph the fountain as found (no flow, leak, broken bubbler or basin) and confirm it is city-owned public infrastructure. 2. Diagnose the fault (clogged valve, worn washer, cracked line) and shut off the supply before opening any fitting. 3. Replace the failed part with a matching fixture-rated component and reassemble. 4. Restore water supply, test flow and drainage, and photograph the working fountain plus a flow-test video. Done when: before/after photos + flow-test video + parts-replaced log + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
