All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Walk and map the irrigation zones at a named park in Los Angeles before touching the controller. Most public irrigation still runs on a clock that has never heard of rain. With the parks authority's written permission, set up a WaterSense labeled weather based controller: soil type, slope, plant type and head type recorded per zone, the schedule programmed to the site rather than to the calendar, a rain or soil moisture sensor paired, and the previous schedule saved so the change can be measured. The work is at the controller face and the plug only. No enclosure is opened, no wire is landed, and any wiring change routes to the authority's licensed electrician. For the payer: - Price: $150 per job, counted in controllers set up and zones programmed. - Likely payer: LADWP rebate programs, paid to the account holder after the program's pre-approval.
Offer to pay $150. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Nothing potable is touched: open no pipe, turn no fitting and add no chemical. Work at the controller face and an existing outlet with the authority's written permission and no license asked; never open an electrical enclosure, land a wire or touch a panel.
The full safety list for this job:
- This program does not test drinking water; any drinking water question routes to a certified laboratory and the local health department.
- Any wiring, valve or backflow question stops the work and routes to the authority's licensed crew.
- Hi-vis on any road shoulder; work from the sidewalk, park or right-of-way, never in a travel lane.
- 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.
Bring
- GPS phone, camera and a measuring wheel or tape
- public aerial imagery and the agency's landscape plan where one exists
- twelve months of reference evapotranspiration from the nearest public weather station
- the site's own water use records or meter readings
- the WaterSense labeled controller with its manual, and a rain or soil moisture sensor
- hand tools, mulch and regionally native plants for the conversion rung, with an 811 locate before any digging
Steps
- 1. Get written permission from the owning authority, naming the site and the work, before any measurement, programming or planting.
- 2. Walk and map the site: irrigated area by landscape type, and for each zone the soil, the slope, the plant type and the head type, photographed as recorded.
- 3. Pull twelve months of reference evapotranspiration from the nearest public weather station, name the station and the network, and apply plant factors from a cited source rather than from memory.
- 4. Compute the budget volume and set it beside the site's recorded use, labeling where the use figure came from, then state the gap in both volume and percent and one plain sentence on what could explain it.
- 5. For a controller packet, save the existing schedule before changing anything, program the new schedule to the zone map, pair the rain or soil moisture sensor, and photograph the old and new schedules side by side. Work at the controller face and an existing outlet only: never open an electrical enclosure and never land a wire.
- 6. For a turf conversion, mark the strip, smother or hand lift the turf, loosen the soil, plant regionally native low water species at spacing, and mulch. Then obtain written confirmation from the authority that the zone serving the strip has been shut off or re-programmed by their own staff.
- 7. Record the square footage converted and the strip's prior water use, so the saving can be counted next season rather than claimed today.
What counts as done
- The parks authority's written permission naming the site and the controller, and the controller model with its WaterSense listing or a note that it is not listed
- A zone map with soil type, slope, plant type and head type recorded per zone, walked and photographed
- The previous schedule and the new schedule side by side, with the runtime per zone in each
- The rain or soil moisture sensor installed and paired, photographed in place, with the setting it is configured to
- Sign-off: the owner or manager signs off the finished work in writing, and LADWP's completion review accepts the record when a rebate pays for it. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Pre-approval first: the LADWP rebate program's pre-approval or reservation number and date, from before any work, or the words 'no rebate' when none is claimed.
- 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.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
