The water level as of 3:35 PM Friday 1/20/2012 is 2-3/4 inches above the summer level of 763.0 feet above sea level.   This measurement is now taken from a staff gauge (See image below) installed 8/20/2008.  It is graduated in 1/10 of a foot or 1.2 inches per increment.  This gauge is intended to monitor compliance with the court order which requires that the level of 763.0 feet above sea level be maintained during the summer or April 1st through October 1st.  After October 1st, any obstruction, i.e. board, in the dam must be removed and the level allowed to return to a natural state.
