The U.S. Geological Survey’s monitoring station at Low’s Bridge in Guilford reported Wednesday that the Piscataquis River was at its lowest level for any Sept. 23 since record keeping at that location began 117 years ago. The stream flow Wednesday was approximately 8 cubic feet per second. That compares to a range for the date of 40 to 170 cubic feet per second and a normal value between 70 and 80 cubic feet per second. The current drought is on track to be the most significant in the state since a multi-year drought in the early 2000s.
