In Late Summer 2014, the online Murat gauge seems to be reading higher than it did previously. Not clear if this is a malfunction or not and will try to contact the gauge maintenance people about this soon. Deleted the recommended levels temporarily until this is resolved. Sorry you had to walk the creek.

The gauge has been fixed. Recommended new bare minimum is 3.7 feet. That equates to about 1 foot of water over the bridge pier footing at Murat.
