What drying runs into in Juneau
Serving Juneau and the surrounding area, including Lemon Creek, Vanderbilt Hill, Thane, Douglas, West Juneau, Downtown, North Douglas, Downtown Flats.
Local housing stock
70.3 percent of Juneau's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1982, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1982 with seven in ten houses older, a number of the developed areas sit on or beside muskeg, where a deep layer of saturated peat lies over the glacial ground beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 88.54 inches, 11.57 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 52.6 degrees in July; rain recorded at JUNEAU-DOUGLAS WWTP 9.6 miles away and temperatures at ANNEX CREEK 4.7 miles away. September is the wettest month at 11.57 inches of an 88-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the input is enormous and continuous; peat in that climate is saturated as a permanent state rather than a seasonal one.
How water losses tend to end in Juneau
- Ground that is permanently saturated, so there is no dry season to build or repair in
- Peat that compresses under load, so anything built on it settles continuously
- No drainage to anywhere, so water removed from one point is replaced from the surrounding bog
