Log the condition of every public drinking fountain in Cutler and Orosi (2026-07-19)

In a community with documented water problems, the public fountains at parks and ballfields are either a trusted resource or a silent risk — and today nobody tracks which. A monthly walked log of every public fountain records what works, what leaks, what's fouled, and what's been shut off. The log is what turns anecdotes into a fix list. Standard: Community water-access assessment practice under SAFER context; SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Proof: Per-fountain photos plus completed status log with GPS/date Method (Community water-access assessment practice under SAFER context; SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.): 1. Visit every public drinking fountain on the route. 2. Test each for flow, pressure, temperature, and visible condition. 3. Photograph each fountain and note defects: no flow, leaks, fouling, damage, closure. 4. Log each fountain's status on the route sheet. 5. Compile the monthly log and record it with GPS and date. Done when: Per-fountain photos plus completed status log with GPS/date

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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Per-fountain photos plus completed status log with GPS/date

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. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA drinking-water sampling (3Ts / LCR first-draw where lead is in scope)

Bring

• GPS-capable phone
• test kit for each named analyte (nitrate/coliform/arsenic/lead as specified)
• clean sample bottle + label
• nitrile gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the sampling point; confirm GPS is inside the posting radius; record the waypoint.
2. 2. Photograph the tap or wellhead with a legible timestamp.
3. 3. If first-draw is required, sample after >=6h stagnation; if flushed, run the tap 2-3 minutes first, then sample.
4. 4. Fill the bottle without touching the inside; cap immediately.
5. 5. Run each test per kit instructions; wait the exact develop/incubation time; read and record every value with units.
6. 6. Record coliform as present/absent after the stated incubation window.
7. 7. Enter all readings, units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign it.

If it does not match the plan

• Nitrate > 10 mg/L -> tag 'exceeds EPA MCL'; advise no infant consumption pending certified-lab confirmation.
• Total coliform present -> advise disinfection + retest; recommend lab confirmation.
• Arsenic > 10 ppb or Lead > 15 ppb -> tag exceedance; recommend certified-lab confirmation before any consumption guidance.

What counts as done

• GPS waypoint recorded inside the posting radius
• Timestamped photo of the exact sampling point
• Each required analyte recorded with a numeric value + units (or present/absent)
• Sampling type (first-draw vs flushed) explicitly noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
