How to read this gauge
The number is the water surface elevation in feet on NAVD88, the current national vertical datum: a height above a fixed survey reference, not a depth. Readings on different datums can't be compared directly.
Readings the NWS marks out of service are left out, and so is any single reading more than 2 ft from the readings either side of it, which is a sensor error rather than water; a newest reading that far from the one before waits for the next to agree.
U.S. Geological Survey runs this gauge; the National Weather Service publishes its readings, which is where this site reads them. It is also USGS gauge 073802225.
