Rake the leaves off Eureka's storm-drain grates before the first big rain.

Eureka's flat, low streets flood at the intersections every fall when the first storm hits grates buried under maple and alder leaves. Water over the curb soaks doorsteps in the same low blocks the king tides already reach. Twenty minutes with a rake at each grate before the storm keeps the street draining.

Pay

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 photos of each cleared grate

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. Take an assigned set of storm-drain grates on the low blocks and photograph each buried grate.
2. Rake leaves and debris off each grate from the curb or sidewalk, never standing in the traffic lane.
3. Bag the debris as green waste rather than sweeping it down the drain.
4. Check the grate opening is fully clear and water can enter.
5. Photograph each cleared grate and log the intersection list with date.

What counts as done

• Before photos of buried grates with GPS and date
• After photos of the same grates cleared
• Intersection list with count of grates cleared

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
