Water temperature and specific conductance will be discontinued on October 31, 2024. Although historic data will remain accessible, no new data will be collected after this date unless one or more new funding partners are found. Users who are willing to contribute funding to continue operation of water temperature and specific conductance should contact Tom Ruby of the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center at aruby@usgs.gov.
