Gauge Description:
Note: The gauge refered to in this section is a virtual "regional" gauge. It is in a nearby watershed but the proximity of the gauge and the river characteristics are similar. Virtual gauges work best in the spring or wide area rain events. Do not rely on this gauge for localized rain events such as summertime thunderstorm activity. Current minimum run level for this stretch is still to be verified. There used to be a hand painted gage on downstream river-left bridge abutment where Rte. 9 crosses near the middle of the run but this bridge was replaced in 1999 and a new gage has yet to be painted.
