Define a parcel-level sewer-capacity verification path

The corrected artifact identifies 13,346 included parcels that intersect a mapped capacity-constrained sewer-system area and need review against actual available capacity.

Missing capability

A documented route from the mapped trigger to a current, parcel-level capacity or connection determination.

Current routes

  • Mapped capacity-constrained sewer-system layer
  • Side-sewer record and SPU capacity review

Next required artifact

An infrastructure evidence memo defining authoritative records, access constraints, update cadence, parcel matching, and the conditions that resolve the review flag.

Success: A parcel can move from unreviewed to a dated, source-linked sewer determination without treating absence of evidence as available capacity.

Source artifact: gap-atlas:backyard-cottage:v1

The mapped capacity constraint is an evidence need, not a sewer denial or a project failure. Counts can overlap with physical, financial, environmental, and other verification conditions. No utility approval or connection cost is inferred by this brief. Gap-dadu-v1.6 preserves the separation between capacity-constrained parcels and combined-sewer-overflow basins; those are different review triggers and must not be reported as one sewer-failure count.

How to use this

The counts here are pinned to artifact gap-dadu-v1.6+assumptions-2026-Q2+financial-v1+programs-2026-06-23. They do not change as the warehouse changes; when the underlying evaluation moves, this brief is republished with new numbers rather than edited in place, so a citation of this page stays meaningful.

You are welcome to use this without asking us, and to disagree with it. The full artifact contains the method versions, source snapshots, exclusion counts, and per-constraint totals behind every figure above.

This is a description of an evidence gap. It is not a solicitation, a procurement, a grant, or an offer of work, and nobody needs our permission or involvement to act on it.
