  • Water Years 2017-2019: Records poor, including those for estimated discharges.
  • Water Year 2016: Records poor, including those for estimated daily discharges.
  • Water Year 2015: Records poor. No estimated daily discharges.
  • Water Year 2014: Records poor, including those for estimated daily discharges.
  • Water Year 2013: Record accuracy statement can be found in the Annual Water Data Report.

    WATER-QUALITY RECORDS
    PERIOD OF RECORD - January 2013 to current year.
    INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor, January 2013 to current year.
    REMARKS - Turbidity values greater than 1,000 formazin nepthelometric units (FNU) exceed the instrument calibration range. Values are included in the record but are presumed to have lower precision. Missing record due to periodic instrument malfunction.
