Q: What changed in the closeout hearing review?
Pera Durn: A second set of hands has checked the count and recorded where the methods differ. That changes what is in the file; it does not, by itself, change the rule.
Q: Which entry should residents look at first?
Pera Durn: the reservoir depth marks and the household release schedule. This cycle records 36 depth marks checked at dawn, against 40 in the last count. The dates and the method matter as much as the total.
Q: Why is there still a disagreement?
Pera Durn: The reserve proposal uses a recent high-water mark; older surveyors say the mark was taken before the spillway was cleared. We have not found a single measure that answers both accounts.
Q: What will the next check tell you?
Pera Durn: The survey office will publish both measurements and their dates side by side. 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?
Pera Durn: That a lower or higher count settles whether the city can retain a larger reserve without flooding the maintenance walk below. It tells us what was entered, not who should carry the cost.
