National Weather Service United States Department of Commerce

The National Weather Service with the USGS, the Kentucky Division of Water, and the emergency management of Nelson and LaRue Counties are happy to announce the establishment of a new river gauge on the Rolling Fork River, just south of New Haven on the US 31E bridge. You can see the latest levels by clicking on this link.

Below is a map of its location:

The gauge will be maintained by the USGS and will help inform the public of the degree of flooding in and near New Haven. In addition, data from this gauge will be used by the NWS to better forecast the level of the Rolling Fork River downstream at Boston. Since this is a new gauge, no history or impact levels have been established yet, but this will be done in the following months. The federal, state, and local agencies hope that this new service will be useful to those who live near flood prone areas in New Haven.
