Refill and reset a livestock water trough that ran dry.

This ranch's livestock drained a stock tank's gravity-fed trough faster than usual through the recent heat wave, and algae has fouled the float valve enough that refill has fallen behind demand. Clearing the float and topping the trough off gets water flowing reliably again before the herd goes another hot afternoon short.

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 photo of low/dry trough and fouled float + after photo refilled + float-cycle confirmation + 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.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the trough is currently low or dry and check the float valve for algae, debris, or a stuck float causing the shortfall.
2. 2. Clear the float valve and the trough's screen or strainer of any buildup, and scrub the trough interior if algae has built up on the walls.
3. 3. Refill the trough fully by hand or hose and confirm the float valve shuts off refill at the correct level.
4. 4. Cycle the float by hand to confirm it opens and closes cleanly, refilling as the level drops and stopping at full.
5. 5. Photograph the cleared float, the refilled trough, and the float-cycle confirmation.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the low/dry trough and the fouled float valve
• After photo of the refilled trough
• Float-cycle confirmation showing it opens and closes correctly at the right levels

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
