Abstract
Established fewer than 15 years ago, the Shirley McClellan Regional Water Services Commission (SMRWSC) is a municipal organization established by the Province of Alberta, and it has developed the longest regional water system in Alberta. The 150 mi, or 250 km, transmission system was constructed in five phases and services over a dozen communities, with a Phase 6 expansion scheduled for completion in September 2021. Rural water distribution systems developed by the Commission’s various member communities have extended over 100 mi (160 km) in that time to create an extensive water network that provides sustainable water servicing to a large geographical area. This paper provides a history of the system from the early days of planning the full network to the buildout of the various phases, the unique pumping station at the heart of the system that services four independent pressure zones, and it discusses how design approaches and construction methodologies have changed over that time based on new and improved materials, the emergence of horizontal directional drilling as a cost effective competitor to open cut installations, and changes to the basic design philosophies behind control networks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
