All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Locate and read your community water system's own Consumer Confidence Report, then log what it does and does not tell you. Every household on a municipal water system already receives this legally required annual report, yet most people never open it, so the exact information they need to know whether their tap water met federal standards last year sits unread in a mailbox or an inbox.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is document literacy only, never a water test or a safety verdict. A CCR reports the utility's own compliance sampling, not what enters water inside your home's plumbing; an unanswered concern routes to the utility or the state drinking water program.
The full safety list for this job:
- A reported violation of a health-based standard (an MCL exceedance) routes to the utility for its own required public-notice explanation and remedy, and to the state drinking water program if that explanation is unclear or absent.
- This standard does not repeat or reinterpret the report's required health-effects language beyond transcribing it verbatim; questions about a specific contaminant's health meaning route to the utility, the state program, or a clinician for a personal health question.
- The next report (due July 1, 2027) will look different under the revised CCR3 rule -- a plain-language summary section, translation/accessibility information, and, for larger systems, delivery twice a year -- so a household reading an older report should expect that format change rather than treat it as an error.
- This audit is never a substitute for actual household testing; if the household's own plumbing, a boil-water notice, or a specific health concern is the actual question, this library's own certified-lab testing standards apply instead.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- The utility's current Consumer Confidence Report (mailed copy, utility website, or EPA's CCR search tool)
- A notebook or phone to log findings by contaminant and result
- The utility's customer service contact information
- The state drinking water program's contact information, if the utility cannot answer
Steps
- 1. Confirm the household is served by a community (municipal) water system, not a private well; a private-well household has no CCR and should use this library's own private_well_annual_screen standard instead.
- 2. Locate the utility's current CCR through its website, a mailed copy, or EPA's CCR search tool, and confirm which calendar year of data it covers.
- 3. Record the source water type (surface water, groundwater, or a blend) as stated in the report.
- 4. Transcribe every detected contaminant and its reported result against its EPA Maximum Contaminant Level directly from the report, never estimated.
- 5. Transcribe any reported violation, variance, exemption, or required health-effects language verbatim.
- 6. Note explicitly that the report covers the utility's own source and compliance sampling only, not what a household's own plumbing (e.g. a lead service line or solder) may add downstream of the water main.
- 7. Route any unanswered question, an unclear violation notice, or a specific health concern to the utility's customer service line or the state drinking water program by name.
What counts as done
- The community water system's current CCR located (utility website, mailed copy, or EPA's CCR search tool) and the calendar year it covers confirmed
- Source water type, every detected contaminant, and its result against the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level recorded from the report itself, never estimated
- Any reported violation, variance, exemption, or required health-effects language transcribed verbatim from the report
- The report's own boundary noted explicitly: it does not cover a household's own plumbing (e.g. a pre-1986 lead service line or solder) downstream of the water main
- A household on a private well routed to this library's own private_well_annual_screen standard instead, since no CCR exists for them
- Any unanswered question or concern routed by name to the utility's customer service line or the state drinking water program
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
