Rumsey Gauge a drought casualty?
It’s bad enough that we are in the middle of one of the worst droughts in Lake County’s modern history. There is only one boat ramp on Clear Lake that is usable right now and the water level is getting lower by the day. Now the Rumsey Gauge readings are all screwed up. The most recent reading shows that the lake is lower than it was during the record year of 1977, but is that a true reading? The problem is that the Rumsey Gauge which is located at Vector Control’s dock in Lakeport, is now on dry ground because of the lake level falling.
