What drying runs into in Madison
Serving Madison and the surrounding area, including 3 Park Place, Madison Station Historic District, Anderson Place.
Local housing stock
Roughly 6,336 of Madison's 23,278 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 2001; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. With a median of 2001 and only a quarter of the stock older, the developments were laid out across fields that had been terraced along the contour for generations, and the grading for houses did not remove those banks.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 59.25 inches, 6.24 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 81.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at MADISON 1.7 N 1.5 miles away and temperatures at HUNTSVILLE INTL AP 4.8 miles away. With 59 inches a year and no freezing month, the ground takes a very large volume through a season with no frozen pause, so an old bank that concentrates flow is directing water across these lots every month of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Madison
- Old contour banks under the lawns, so water follows lines laid out for a field
- Banks running across property boundaries, so the route continues through several yards
- Grading that softened them rather than removing them, so nothing on the surface explains the flow
