The pond level is controlled by the height of the pipe in the dam. Since beavers depend on water for their survival, the more a beaver pond is lowered with a pipe, the more likely it is that the beavers will try to build a new dam to return the water to its previous high level.
The elevation of Beaver Run Reservoir is 1,053 feet (321 m) above sea level. [1] The reservoir is the source of drinking water for 150,000 people, including those in Murrysville, Export and Delmont. [2] Fishing in the reservoir and hiking near the reservoir are not allowed, due to public health concerns. [3]

Dec. 4—Heavy rains over the past two weeks have had little impact on water levels at the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County's Beaver Run Reservoir. Officials in mid-November issued a ...
The dam monitoring system checks the level of the water because this creates different pressures on the dam, also in relation to the air and water temperature. All these parameters are controlled and compared with the deformation and stress applied on the structure of the dam, measured with extensimeter, pendulum, reverse pendulum, piezometer, etc.
Air bubbler systems contain no moving parts, making them suitable for measuring the level of sewage, drainage water, sewage sludge, night soil, or water with large quantities of suspended solids. The only part of the sensor that contacts the liquid is a bubble tube which is chemically compatible with the material whose level is to be measured.
