Repair the broken public drinking fountain.

Fund it for $140. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$140 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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • the utility's or facility's work authorization plus the fixture's manufacturer instructions and parts
  • shutoff key or hydrant wrench and the valve-exercise log sheet
  • pipe wrenches, basin wrench, thread sealant and the specified gaskets
  • the backflow or vacuum-breaker device the code requires for the connection
  • bucket, flush timer, and a flow-rate measure
  • gloves and eye protection
  • camera + GPS phone

Steps

  1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the fixture as found, run it if it runs, and record the fault (no flow, low flow, leak, seized valve, missing bubbler guard).
  2. 2. Confirm the work authorization from the utility or the facility, and locate and close the correct isolation valve before opening anything.
  3. 3. Repair or install to the manufacturer's instructions and the local plumbing code, keeping or fitting the required backflow or vacuum-breaker protection on the connection.
  4. 4. For a valve exercise, cycle the valve through its full travel at the utility's specified turn count and record the turns and any binding, without forcing a seized valve.
  5. 5. Reopen the supply, flush the fixture for the full flush time the utility specifies for a disturbed potable line, and record the flush duration.
  6. 6. VERIFY: measure and log the delivered flow, confirm no leak at any joint after five minutes under pressure, and confirm the bubbler guard and drain are intact.
  7. 7. Photograph the working fixture from the before vantage and enter the flush time, flow reading and parts used in the proof record.

What counts as done

  • Before photo of the broken fountain
  • Repair/parts-replaced record
  • Flow-test video confirming steady, clean water delivery
  • Backflow-preventer confirmed intact after repair

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788198258166_bs9s2ea","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
