Install zoned drip irrigation across the community orchard/farm bed, the Avalon Blvd corridor, Historic South-Central, Los Angeles, CA 90003.
A worker installs a backflow preventer and zoned drip line with emitters and timers across the orchard and farm bed at the Avalon Blvd corridor, testing the flow as dry rows become an evenly irrigated planting. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Install a zoned drip system across the orchard and farm bed at the Avalon Blvd corridor, Historic South-Central, Los Angeles, CA 90003. The newly built orchard and farm bed spans planting rows with different water needs: young fruit trees, annual vegetable rows, and a pollinator border. No volunteer can hand-water a bed this size every day, and separate battery-timer circuits per planting type keep the whole orchard consistently watered with a fraction of the water hand-watering would use. Without a timed line, the young trees and vegetable rows go dry between hand waterings. For the payer: - Price: $480 per job, counted in irrigation zones installed. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host. - Public money rule: if a public agency pays for this job, California treats it as public works (Labor Code 1720). On public works over $1,000 every worker is paid at least the state prevailing wage for the craft (Labor Code 1771) and the contractor keeps certified payroll (Labor Code 1776); on a project over $25,000 the contractor must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code 1725.5). The crew works under the payer's contractor of record. - No license is needed while the whole job, labor and materials together, stays under $1,000 (Business and Professions Code section 7048); at $1,000 or more, a CSLB C-27 Landscaping license for the irrigation.
Offer to pay $480. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Backflow preventer required at the water-source tap; never tie into a potable line without one; keep tubing off the walkway travel path. Property-owner/community-org consent precedes work; employer provides water, shade and rests, and N95s above smoke AQI 150; wear sturdy boots and leather work gloves.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: sturdy boots for digging tools and heavy pipe; leather work gloves for pipe cuts, fittings and soil contact.
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Obtain the orchard steward's or site host's written scope for this irrigation before work (the beds and zones, the date, and who maintains it) and, if a crew or grantee sent you, its work order. Get the site host's or agency's written consent to work there too. Write what you got at the top of your proof. With no written scope, stop.
- Get property-owner or community-org consent and confirm the layout before starting.
- Photograph the orchard and farm bed unwatered, before any work begins.
- Install the backflow preventer and pressure regulator at the water-source connection and photograph the assembly.
- Lay out separate zone circuits matched to each planting type: fruit trees, annual vegetable rows and the pollinator border.
- Run the tubing for each zone, keeping it clear of the walkway travel path.
- Set emitters along each zone at consistent spacing for that planting type.
- Fit a battery timer to each zone circuit.
- Draw the zone map showing each circuit matched to its planting type and log the emitter spacing per zone.
- Run water through each zone and record a leak/flow-test video showing every emitter wetting evenly with no blown fittings.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the unwatered orchard/farm bed
- Backflow-preventer and pressure-regulator photo at the water-source connection
- Zone map showing each irrigation circuit matched to its planting type (trees/annual rows/pollinator border) + emitter-spacing log per zone
- Per-zone leak/flow-test video showing every emitter in every zone wetting evenly with no blown fittings
- Scope: the orchard steward's or site host's written scope for this irrigation, and the work order of any crew or grantee that sent you, dated before the first photo.
- Site consent: the site host's or agency's written consent to work there, dated before the first photo.
- Sign-off: the site host or steward, or the supervisor of the crew of record, signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
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
