The latest confirmed development in the outer grove water pact is that a limited trial begins without replacing the older record. The update comes from the boundary spring at Alder Pass; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.

Thalen Moss, regional water delegate, confirmed 83 draws recorded with both spring and downstream marks in the file. The previous window recorded 87; the totals do not settle how to divide a shared source when measurements are taken at different points in a rainfall cycle.

The unresolved point is specific: Upper stewards rely on the spring reading. Lower households rely on the mark that reaches their cistern. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.

Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.

NEXT UPDATE: The Year fifth, canopy height window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both circles will take paired measurements on the same morning. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
