Cubberley Community Center Theatre

Creek Monitor & Camera

The Creek Monitor and other systems are monitored by City of Palo Alto staff when conditions warrant and staffing permits. These creek levels and other data are provided for information purposes only. Because of complex factors, including tides and soil saturation, the creek depth readings may reach high levels with little or no danger to the public.
