What this means

At 7.25 ft, the Site 76 in Conservation Area 3B near Andytown is far below normal for mid-October.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 7.13 ft and 7.29 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
