UP = Water level is higher than that reported for last month or year

Shaded block indicates this month is a new recorded maximum or minimum

Year refers to water year, October 1 - September 30.

 

*Value for well is computed using less than full period of record because of a change in well hydraulics, or nearby non-climatic hydrologic stress.

^ Below normal conditions for well SO-2 are due to nearby pumping.

+Well MR-1364 was affected by the Pymatuning Earthquake on September 25, 1998. Record adjusted to compute current conditions shown on map
