Install a bottle-filler drinking-fountain station outside the library, the frontage of the Vermont Square Branch Library, 1201 W 48th St, Los Angeles, CA 90037.

This library has no public drinking fountain at all -- patrons waiting for storytime or a bus outside have nowhere to fill a bottle; a new ADA-height fountain with a bottle-filler spout tapped into the existing hose-bib line fixes that.

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

permit + backflow-preventer photo + before/after photos + valve/flow test video + ADA-height measurement + 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.

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 bare frontage with no fountain
• City facilities/water-utility permit + backflow-preventer photo at the supply tie-in
• Valve/flow test video showing steady, clean flow at both the bubbler and the bottle-filler spout
• ADA reach-height measurement + after photo of the installed, working fountain

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
