All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Walk a named public route in Los Angeles on a dry morning and record every unexplained wet spot. A real loss you can see from the sidewalk is the cheapest water in the system. Look for water tracking from a valve box lid, a seep at a curb joint, a running gutter, a sprinkler throwing onto pavement, a green stripe across dry ground. This is documentation only; do not touch, open or operate anything. Then file each one on the public leak reporting line of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and record the reference number the utility gives back.
Offer to pay $80. 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. Documentation only, no license asked: observe from the public right-of-way and do not enter, touch or open a valve box, a lid or a meter.
The full safety list for this job:
- Public ground only. Never enter a plant, a well house, a vault or a meter pit; never operate a hydrant, a valve or a gate; never open any enclosure. Anything behind a fence or a lid belongs to the utility's own crews.
- This program does not test drinking water; any drinking water question routes to a certified laboratory and the local health department.
- Hi-vis on any road shoulder; work from the sidewalk, park or right-of-way, never in a travel lane.
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 most recent filed water loss audit or annual report
- GPS phone with a track recorder and camera
- hi-vis vest
- the utility's public leak reporting number or web form, open before the walk starts
- a notebook or form with one row per finding
Steps
- 1. Find the most recent water loss audit the system filed with its state or its regulator, and transcribe water supplied, authorized consumption, apparent loss and real loss in the report's own units, without rounding.
- 2. Record the non revenue water share, the infrastructure leakage index and the AWWA data validity score exactly as published, and list every input the utility itself flagged as an estimate rather than a measurement.
- 3. Choose a public route and walk it on a dry morning with no rain in the previous 24 hours, recording a GPS track, so that any wet ground has no weather to explain it.
- 4. At each finding take a GPS waypoint and a photo from the public right-of-way, and write one line: what is wet, what surface it is on, and how far the water is travelling. Observe only: do not enter, touch or open a valve box, a lid or a meter, and never operate anything.
- 5. File each finding on the utility's own public reporting line while still on the route, and write down the reference or service request number the utility returns for each.
- 6. Close the run with a count: findings, reports filed, reference numbers received, and any finding deliberately not reported with the reason. Set the count beside the filed audit's real loss figure and say whether the walk supports it.
What counts as done
- The GPS track of the route walked, its length, and the date and start time, on a day with no rain in the previous 24 hours
- A GPS waypoint, a photo from the public right-of-way and a one line description for each finding, with the surface it is on
- The utility reference or service request number returned for every finding reported, or a note that the line issued none
- A closing count: findings, reports filed, and any finding deliberately not reported with the reason
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
