Research direction

Start by reproducing the CDA locations request at https://cwms-data.usace.army.mil/cwms-data/locations/UVD?office=NAE and trace the response handling for the elevation attribute. Done means the endpoint returns elevation rounded consistently to the requested two- or four-digit precision without changing the other location fields.
