What this means

Low water at Oak Grove Fork above Powerplant Intake: the gauge reads 4.86 ft, 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. The 30-day range is 4.86 ft – 4.90 ft.

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