A review of meter readings, outage notices and cooperative invoices finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the municipal cold store beside the west canal. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the meter was replaced during a three-hour outage.
The meter readings, outage notices and cooperative invoices lists 96 hours held within the posted temperature band; the previous window lists 91. Ada Merrow checked both against ward records and interviews with people who use the service. The source was checked against a second copy held by Bea Carrow. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The utility counts from its exchange date. The cooperative says the new meter missed the outage at changeover. 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 shared storage costs are split when a replacement meter spans two billing periods.
The responsible board publishes two options with a cost and end date for each. The Year second, cold harbor window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The utility will align the exchange record with the outage notice.
