The County of Lycoming finalized the construction of its Flood Warning System (FWS) in 2004. All equipment within the system is comprised of components from High Sierra Electronics, INC. which now operates as a subsidiary of AEM. The FWS covers 6 major watersheds within the County and is comprised of a network of 21 automated stream gauges. The FWS is comprised of 14 sensing locations that utilize ultrasonic and/or radar gauges while the remaining 7 utilize a pressure transducer style gauge. It is the County’s desire to convert all 7 pressure transducer gauges to radar systems. The information collected by the FWS is then made publicly available here: http://floodready.lyco.org/datawise/reports/sgi.php. This project is being supported in part, by federal award number SLFRP2851 awarded to Lycoming County by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The specified products are the only products that will interface with Lycoming County’s existing system.
