At the boundary spring at Alder Pass, Thalen Moss puts the pact, spring marks and the field notes kept by both circles beside the downstream mark lags when the upper spring is measured after rain. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.

Thalen Moss is the regional water delegate. On this rest season visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.

The the pact, spring marks and the field notes kept by both circles lists 83 draws recorded with both spring and downstream marks; the previous window lists 83. Sylva Reed checked both against field transects paired with the season and location of each reading. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.

Upper stewards rely on the spring reading. Lower households rely on the mark that reaches their cistern. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.

Stewards post the result alongside the original measurement. The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which sent one separate question to a later public hearing without reopening this file.
