GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 269.1 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Satellite telemetry at station.
REMARKS - Since 1984, the town of Southern Pines has withdrawn water for public supply 0.5 mi upstream from the gage. These withdrawals cause some diurnal fluctuation at low to medium flow and may affect yearly minimums. Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally good except for estimated discharges, which are poor. Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-nc_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.
