The latest confirmed development in warm-water hall is that a public vote has approved a narrow change while leaving the larger question open. The update comes from the public warm-water hall in the Lower Ward; officials have not announced a permanent change to the rule.
Gelda Venn, sanitation steward for the public baths, confirmed 19 water rotations completed before the final bell in the latest file. The previous count was 16. The figures do not yet resolve how to preserve access to the public baths while the settling basin is repaired.
The unresolved point is specific: A shortened schedule reduces wear on the basin; families who rely on the evening rotation say daytime hours are not an equal substitute. No finding has established that either account is final.
The current arrangement remains in place. The office has not said whether it will change before the next review.
NEXT UPDATE: The steward will post an evening rotation for residents who work the late shift. The file will be updated when the second check is complete; until then, the confirmed record is narrower than the claims around it.
