How to read this gauge

The number is the water level in feet above or below mean higher high water (MHHW): 0 ft is the average height of the higher of each day's high tides here. Readings below 0 are normal for most of the tide cycle; above 0, the water is higher than an ordinary high tide.

The flood stages are the National Weather Service's references for this location, on the same scale as the reading. They describe the gauge, not any particular street or property.

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.

The NWS does not name the agency that runs this gauge; the National Weather Service publishes its readings and its flood stages, which is where this site reads them. It is also USGS gauge 02246515.
