A review of settling cards, filter changes and household distribution notes finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the salt settling chamber at West Reservoir. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: two filters share one replacement card.
The settling cards, filter changes and household distribution notes lists 51 filter runs with a source and destination mark; the previous window lists 48. Tikka Reed checked both against walk-through notes from every branch paired with the posted passage map. The source was checked against a second copy held by Niri Flint. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The chamber records a combined run. The distribution crew needs the filter number before sending water onward. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how residents can trace a water change to one of two filters.
Residents and route crews submit corrections before the public table closes. The Year first, store season window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The next card will keep the filter number with the distribution route.
