When one of these gauging stations is called, the caller will be asked to press 1 on the touch-tone telephone for English or 2 for French. If a touch-tone phone is not used, the message in English will start after a few seconds and the message in French will follow. The message gives the present water level in metres above chart datum at that station, followed by the high and low water levels recorded during the previous 12 hours. The height of the presently adopted chart datum for that station is then given in metres above International Great Lakes Datum 1985 (IGLD 1985).

Pressing 1 or 2 at any time during the message will restart the announcement from the beginning and pressing 0 at any time will end the call. Please contact our Burlington office at (905) 336-4844 (during office hours 08:00 to 16:00) or by fax at (905) 336-8916 or by e-mail to CATCWL@dfo-mpo.gc.ca to report any problems.
