Each year we go up and visually inspect the Middle Creek Early Warning System to make sure it all looks good. Â Wednesday was the day and after some hiking and sweating everything looked good. Â The gauge stations were in good shape with no bullet holes found this year. Â Over the winter we had one sensor with some intermittent readings, but it appears to be fine now (maybe it was just cold!). Â The system consists of an upper and lower monitoring station with seven gauge sites between them. Â This is designed to provide redundancy and avoid false alarms. Â These monitoring stations then transmit to a repeater site up above which relays their status to Bozeman. Â Learn more about the Middle Creek Dam at our Early Warning System page.
