At the Seventh Bridge landing, Deli Arven keeps the second reading file beside a line of copper tags that households move when a release is delayed. The two details are easy to miss in a summary: one is a line in a ledger, the other is the condition that decides whether the line is useful.
Deli Arven is the elected steward for the bridge households. On this long light visit, the work begins with the public queue board and the sluice keeper’s release marks; only after the entry is checked can the crew say what the rule asks of the people below.
10 posted collection turns were entered this cycle, compared with 11 in the prior file. The figure is one part of a longer handoff. Sella Mor checked the public queue board and the sluice keeper’s release marks against the field notes. The method is to listen for the point where an abstract rule becomes a household obligation; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them.
The water office counts collection turns; residents count the hours they wait beside a dry cistern. The current record does not settle that disagreement. Residents closest to the work describe the difference as a route, a wait or a shift that cannot be moved on a slate. Their accounts have been attached to the docket rather than folded into the total.
A second set of hands has checked the count and recorded where the methods differ. The entry belongs to the second reading file at the Seventh Bridge landing. An observer from the Upper Reservoir will time a full release at both landings. The next visit will show whether the revision travels beyond the office that wrote it.
