How to read this gauge
The number is the stage in feet above this gauge's own zero: a height on its own scale, not a depth. The NWS lists that zero at -0.88 ft NAVD88, so the water surface is now about 3.24 ft NAVD88.
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 08188800.
