A decision on the cooling tower water turns should be judged at the shared cooling tower at Copper Loop, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Keep contract terms, meter readings and worker testimony beside one another. The current file is the Year first, rain shift window 1 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.
The intake meters, tower temperature cards and shift requests lists 54 water turns with an intake and return temperature; the previous window lists 51. Grikka Ash checked both against crew logs compared with the inspection card for the same shift. The difference matters because how to schedule shared cooling when one workshop’s return water arrives warmer.
Each shop counts its own intake. The common board does not show the return temperature at the tower. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.
A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, two workshops share the same tower during the hottest part of the smelt run.
The responsible office has begun the follow-up set by the board, which approved a paid-time trial with a closeout date.
