All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Inspect a Washington, DC-area wellhead cap, casing, and grading for a contamination pathway into the aquifer. The Water Systems Council's own national wellcare program office sits here, so this tile names the organization behind one of this standard's three named sources. The wellhead has no inspection record for cracked caps, pooled water at the casing, or short setbacks that let contamination reach the aquifer.
Offer to pay $170. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Damaged caps or casing route to a licensed well contractor, and any setback shortfall routes to the state or local well program. Any unused or abandoned well routes to a licensed contractor for decommissioning, never capped informally or left open as a contamination pathway.
The full safety list for this job:
- This is physical integrity and setback observation only, it does not certify water quality, which stays the certified lab's job.
- Setback shortfalls can also route to the local health department.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the Water Systems Council: named as the real, verified home of the wellcare program this standard cites, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- measuring tape (long, for setback distances)
- camera
- GPS-capable phone
- flashlight for inspecting the cap and vent
- a copy of the state/local well-construction setback minimums
- notepad or tablet for the audit checklist
Steps
- 1. Walk to the wellhead and record its GPS location; photograph the overall wellhead and casing before close inspection.
- 2. Inspect the well cap and seal for security, tamper-resistance, and vermin-proofing, and confirm the screened vent is intact; photograph and record any crack, gap, or missing vent screen.
- 3. Measure the casing height above final grade and observe whether the ground slopes away from the wellhead or pools water at the casing; photograph the grading.
- 4. Measure and record the setback distance from the wellhead to the nearest septic tank or drainfield, livestock area, and fuel or chemical storage; compare each to the cited state or local well-construction minimum.
- 5. Walk the rest of the property for any unused or abandoned well; if found, record its exact location and condition with photos.
- 6. Never enter a well pit, vault, or any confined space during this audit; observe and photograph from ground level and outside the structure only.
- 7. Route every deficiency found by name: a damaged cap, seal, or casing routes to a licensed well contractor; a setback shortfall routes to the state or local well program or health department; any unused or abandoned well routes to a licensed well contractor for proper decommissioning (sealing).
- 8. Enter every finding, measurement, photo, and routing into the proof record; sign it.
What counts as done
- Cap/seal, casing height, and grading each recorded with a specific finding and a dated photo
- Setback distances to the nearest septic system, livestock area, and fuel/chemical storage measured and compared to the cited state/local minimum
- Property walked for unused/abandoned wells, with any found recorded by location and condition
- Every deficiency routed by name: licensed well contractor for cap/casing/decommissioning work, or the state/local well program for setback questions
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.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
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.
