Water level

What this means

The gauge at NB Neshaminy Creek at Chalfont shows 3.01 ft, above normal for mid-October.

The water is rising: up 0.07 ft over the past 24 hours. If the rise continues, low-lying paths and riverside parking can go under water. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 2.80 ft and 3.09 ft.

That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.
