Exercise and lubricate the hydrant valve, hydrant 3 -- fire hydrants along CA-3/Main Street, Hayfork, CA 96041 (2026-07-20)

This hydrant's valve hasn't been cycled since it was installed, and a seized valve costs a fire crew precious minutes in an actual emergency; the AWWA-standard periodic exercise-and-lubrication routine keeps it ready. Standard: AWWA Manual M17 (Installation, Field Testing, and Maintenance of Fire Hydrants) periodic valve-exercise/lubrication practice; SDG 11.b resilience. Proof: before/after photos + valve-cycle confirm + lubrication record + cap-reseat photo + GPS Method (Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged), ~30-60 min): 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard. 2. Photograph each hazard. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical). 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility). 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, camera, hi-vis vest, severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical) Done when: Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint; Severity tag assigned per hazard; Hazard type classified; Named handoff target per hazard

$70 proposed

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

before/after photos + valve-cycle confirm + lubrication record + cap-reseat photo + GPS

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: 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.
