All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Time how long water stands after a rain in the street basins and swales on Elmer Avenue, Sun Valley, and log the hours. The City of Los Angeles lists "Elmer Avenue Green Street" among its stormwater capture projects, with 45 acres draining to it, and that is a design figure. The City's list holds no measured time for the water to go in. After a rain of a quarter inch or more at the nearest National Weather Service station, stand on the public sidewalk at one marked spot, photograph the standing water, and return to the same spot to photograph it again until it is gone, for two days at most. Add no water, dig nothing, touch nothing, and go inside no fence, yard or park. If you cannot find a basin, swale or tree well from public ground, log that and stop. The log gives hours after a stated rain and never says a basin works or fails.
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. Observe from public ground only, wear a hi-vis vest at a road edge, and never step into the water, a basin or the roadway; no special training is needed.
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.
- Wet weather: go after the rain has stopped, never during it, in slip-resistant shoes. A wet curb, leaf litter and a wet grate are slip hazards, so keep off the grate and out of the gutter.
- Traffic, Title 8 section 1598: wear a high-visibility vest, jacket or shirt (ANSI/ISEA 107) on any walk or curb edge next to moving traffic, and work from the sidewalk side.
- Standing water: keep your hands and feet out of it and wash your hands after the visit. Take no sample and run no test.
- Seen, not judged: how water looks says nothing about what is in it. The log gives hours and photos only.
- Private property: if the only view of a basin is from private property, skip it and write that it is not visible from public ground.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- phone with a camera, GPS and a clock
- a notebook or notes app for the log
- hi-vis vest for any road edge
- slip-resistant shoes
- the weather service's station page, open on the phone
- a hashing tool for the anchor step
Steps
- On the National Weather Service page for the nearest station, copy the rain depth in inches and the hour the rain ended. Go only if the depth is a quarter inch or more.
- Wait until the rain has stopped, then walk to the public sidewalk beside the street basins, swales or tree wells and choose one spot you can stand on again, well back from the roadway.
- At the spot, photograph the basins wide with a street sign or curb address in view, and note the GPS point and the time. Write whether water is standing and where.
- If no water is standing, write no standing water with the hours since the rain ended, and stop. If water is standing, come back to the same spot about a day after the rain ended and photograph the same view with the time.
- If water still stands, come back once more about two days after the rain ended and photograph the same view again. If it still stands, write still standing at 48 hours and stop.
- Count the hours from the hour the rain ended to the time of the first photo that shows no standing water. The photo before it shows the water, so the true time sits between the two.
- If you cannot find a basin, swale or tree well from public ground, photograph the street from your spot, write none found from public ground, and stop. Go inside no fence, yard or park.
- Write the log as it happened, with the rain depth beside the hours, and say nothing about whether the basin works or fails. Publish the log in full and anchor its content hash via vealth.net/anchor.
What counts as done
- The weather service station named, with its report for the rain copied as published: the rain depth in inches and the hour the rain ended, with the web address of the report. A rain under a quarter inch does not count
- A marked spot on public ground with a GPS point, and a wide photo from that spot that shows the basins, swales or tree wells with a street sign or curb address in view
- At least two photos from the same spot, each with its time shown: the first within six hours after the rain ended, the next about a day after the rain ended, and a third at about two days if water still stands. Each notes whether water is standing and where
- The hours from the end of the rain to the first photo that shows no standing water, or the words no standing water at the first visit with the hours at that visit, or the words still standing at 48 hours
- If no basin, swale or tree well can be seen from public ground, the words none found from public ground and one wide photo from the marked spot
- The log published in full and its content hash anchored via vealth.net/anchor
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
