Install a certified nitrate-rated water filter.

Private wells across the Lower Yakima Valley have documented nitrate contamination. The county and EPA have run a groundwater management program here for more than a decade. Families on affected wells still haul bottled water or drink untreated tap. A certified point-of-use filter at one invited kitchen tap is a same-day fix that a household can maintain themselves.

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

photos of the installed certified filter, date label, and host well-test context

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 the host's invitation and review their most recent well test result together.
2. Install a point-of-use filter certified for nitrate reduction at the kitchen tap following the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Flush the new filter for the full time the instructions require and run a first-draw check.
4. Label the unit with the install date and the next cartridge-change date.
5. Photograph the installed filter, the labeled date card, and the well test result together, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Photo of the installed filter under the sink or at the tap
• Photo of the certification marking on the filter packaging
• Photo of the labeled install/change date card
• GPS coordinates and date on photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Drinking Water Safety. Drinking water safety rests on hard numbers: the EPA and the World Health Organization publish exact limits for lead, bacteria, nitrates, and the rest, the line between water that is safe and water that only looks safe. Clear water can fail the test; slightly cloudy water can pass it. Only the test knows. Mastery means clean sampling habits, honest custody of every sample, and readings a stranger can trust. This packet is one correct sample or one careful reading, taken by the book. Every safe glass of water stands on somebody having done this properly.
