The first file on the east quay gauge began with the quay gauge book and the upstream water board. The city then checked the source, heard affected residents and sent a second office to repeat the count.
The current Year third, cold harbor window 3 file records 36 readings paired with an upstream time stamp; the previous window records 32. The longer sequence makes the change visible, while each count remains tied to its own dates.
A turning point was the observation that the lower gauge sits in the shade for two hours after sunrise. It narrowed the discussion from a general claim to a question about how the rule works at the site.
Quay residents say the lower mark rises first. The water board says its upstream station gives the more stable warning. The shared record is larger than it was at the start, although the parties still assign it different weight.
The clerk matches the question to the original register and its last amendment. The Year third, cold harbor window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Asecond gauge will be read at the same hour on both sides of the quay.
