  • Day 19 of the metro rotation that began Aug 8; levels are read each morning from AAA’s own 5:00 AM chart for our reservoir board

Why this matters: The number that matters is the gap to the next band line: 0.30 m for Carraízo, 0.25 m for La Plata. Straight-line dates move every day — the daily check is the point.
