What drying runs into in Hayward
Serving Hayward and the surrounding area, including Baumberg, Russell City.
Local housing stock
The typical Hayward house dates to 1972, with about three quarters of the stock (76.1 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1970s work. Around a median of 1972 with three quarters of the stock older, the older neighborhoods sit astride a fault that does not stay locked between earthquakes but slides slowly and continuously beneath them.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 16 inches, 3.2 of them in December, against a warm season that peaks at 67.3 degrees in August; both figures recorded at HAYWARD AIR TERMINAL, 2 miles away. December is the wettest month at 3.2 inches of a 16-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the rain is concentrated in a short winter; a line broken by ground movement in July is only found when the wet season arrives.
How water losses tend to end in Hayward
- Ground moving continuously, so buried pipe is being pulled apart a little each year
- Movement measured in fractions of an inch, so nothing is dramatic enough to be noticed
- Failures on a line, so the affected properties follow the fault rather than the street
