Fallback values: use different gauge

Closed this issue · 1 comments

PWD has suggested that we use values from this gauge, which is on the Delaware River: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?014670261 as fallback and during the down months for our primary gauge. I think we should still fall back to #17 in case the whole API is down, but in cases where our primary gauge is down, we should use the other gauge's values.

When we fall back to using the Delaware River gauge, we should show this text: The Schuylkill River is the largest tributary of the Delaware River Watershed. This information is coming from a gauge on the Delaware River. We'll have to play with the styling on it, though.
