Q: What changed in the first register review?
Dorin Nel: The docket has returned for review with the exceptions and unresolved objections attached. That changes what is in the file; it does not, by itself, change the rule.
Q: Which entry should residents look at first?
Dorin Nel: the mill’s joint scale slips and the accord’s water-use clause. This cycle records 40 mill turns recorded under the shared water allotment, against 37 in the last count. The dates and the method matter as much as the total.
Q: Why is there still a disagreement?
Dorin Nel: The accord assigns turns by season; both delegations say the other has carried forward last season’s exception as a rule. We have not found a single measure that answers both accounts.
Q: What will the next check tell you?
Dorin Nel: The joint table will publish the turn schedule with every exception dated. If it is recorded by another crew, we can see whether the first result was about the method or about the place.
Q: What should the public not infer yet?
Dorin Nel: That a lower or higher count settles how two settlements can share a mill without turning each dry week into a dispute over priority. It tells us what was entered, not who should carry the cost.
