If you have minor/major flooding or top of bank data for your particular location and email the data to us within 48 hours of the event (along with the location & exact time of your reading/observations), we can publish the data along with the corresponding crest levels at the Reiglesville monitoring station for the date/time listed. This data might help specific locations in the future to better predict how projected crest information published for Reiglesville during a flood warning will translate into flood levels for specific locations along the river (and when it's necessary to start moving things up or out). webmanager@newhopepa.com
