A review of household meter notes and the shared line credit book finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the tenant board at Ember Court. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the meter was replaced halfway through the cold shift.
The household meter notes and the shared line credit book lists 95 credits with a household reading attached; the previous window lists 97. Orrik Smelt checked both against contract clauses set beside paid invoices and the work completed. The source was checked against a second copy held by Tari Voss. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The utility averages both meters. Residents ask for separate readings before and after replacement. 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 a household checks a credit across a meter change.
An inspector checks the recorded condition at the work site. The Year first, smelt run window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The tenant board will publish the exchange mark beside both readings.
