The first upper reservoir notice began with the reservoir depth marks and the household release schedule. Since then, the city has moved through a source check, a public hearing and a trial at the upper reservoir cut into the west face.
The current docket records 25 depth marks checked at dawn; the earlier file recorded 23. The count is more specific than the first summary, but still does not answer whether the city can retain a larger reserve without flooding the maintenance walk below.
A key point in the timeline was the discovery of a narrow spillway whose lip sits one thumb above the older survey mark. It narrowed the dispute from a general claim about the rule to a question about how the rule behaves at the site.
The reserve proposal uses a recent high-water mark; older surveyors say the mark was taken before the spillway was cleared. The current record does not settle that disagreement. The parties now share more of the record than they did at the start, though they assign it different weight.
The affected crew has tried the revised procedure under ordinary working conditions. The entry belongs to the interim review file at the upper reservoir cut into the west face. The survey office will publish both measurements and their dates side by side. The next review will show whether the change lasts beyond this docket or returns as another temporary exception.
