What the water does
National Weather Service impact statements for this gauge, in the Weather Service's own words.
| 8.0 ft | Water begins to leave the channel and floods open adjacent land. River Road, Route 533, well downstream from the gage, can flood due to the combined effects of high water on Pike Run and backwater effects from the Millstone. No other known inundation or significant impacts exist at this time. |
