I would use both and set up the buckets like Dude did to catch anything yucky that might come out!

Someone may have said it already but contact your water provider and see if you can get a credit on your water bill since the thousands of gallons going into the pool won’t enter the city sewer system. Unless you’re on a septic tank Then none of this is relevant!

Pebble Day has finally arrived! 
The crew is unloading their gear and taping things off. I am both nervous and excited. Met with landscaper yesterday evening. Fence is scheduled for Wednesday. This project is coming to an end.

It's going in and I was able to get my batch sample 
. Consistency is that of oatmeal so we're going in the right direction.

Uniformity looks pretty good now, and will only get better after they acid wash it! A lot of the smurf color will disappear, and you willl see even more of the pebble. It looks like they did a nice job! This is going to be the longest weekend on record waiting for that pool to fill!

We're on septic, but I still need to call them. Thanks for the reminder!

It's about to storm and our plaster was done about 4 hours ago. Will it be okay?
Plaster should be fine. I would recommend using a light broom or leaf blower to remove any puddling from the steps or sunshelf, and try to keep water from puddling in the deep end of the pool. I had a customer earlier this year who ran their sprinkler at night and ended up with a puddle on one of their steps, the material cured differently in just that area and is a shade darker.
Talk to your builder/plaster company to be sure though.
You got plastered!!! OH YEAH!!!! ALMOST TIME FOR CANNON BALL!!!
Is that just spigots or different hoses on diff spigots?Pre-fill tests are done. Here are our numbers. I did a test a few weeks ago from our backyard spigot and the water was crystal clear. Today it has a mud tinge but I think its from me cleaning the hoses the other day and I kept changing the hoses to rinse with my wet muddy gloves. I'm going down later to clean it off and see if that helps. The water runs clear so I believe the spigot needs cleaning now.
Front Yard Spigot Results:
PH - 7.5
FC - 2.5
CC - 1
CH - 50
TA - 30
CYA - 0
Salt - 400
Back Yard Spigot Results:
PH - 7.2
FC - 2.5
CC - 2.5
CH - 50
TA - 30
CYA - 0
Salt - 200
@HermanTX @kimkats @Newdude @ajw22 @PoolStored which spigot is best to fill from? We are on City Water. Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice!
Edited after @Newdude helped me figure out seeing the black dot was inevitable on fill water for CYA.

Just spigots. I have brand new hoses. The water is running clear again now on the back yard spigot, mud was around the spout.

Acid washing is underway. The landscaper and I have planned out the planter beds and sod, and the fence guy came back out to confirm the final measurements. I met with the pool supervisor this morning and we planned out the deck umbrella sleeve placements and marked with frog tape. We have the hoses ready to go. The sprinkler lines will be a week long bottleneck on the sod going in. The landscaper is trying to get dig permits going. We picked out some privacy trees, shrubs, and a few annuals to pretty up the space. We're getting there.
