STATUS: The docket has returned for review with the exceptions and unresolved objections attached. The current rule remains in force at the North Sluice above the Lantern Stair.

RECORD: The gate’s release board and the ward cistern level marks. This file counts 28 measured release turns; the prior count was 27.

DISPUTE: Keepers point to a steady total at the gate; residents point to a sharper fall in the last two cisterns.

WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns how much reserve water reaches the lower wards after a thaw pushes grit through the upper channel. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.

NEXT: A mason crew will inspect the final bend during the next low-flow window. The clerk has marked the file NORTH-SLUICE-22 for the next public review.
