What drying runs into in Norcross
Serving Norcross and the surrounding area, including Sheffield Forest, Peachtree North, Springdale Estates, Oakbrook Station, Indian Crossing, Jones Mobile Home Park, Stonewood, Overlook.
Local housing stock
The typical Norcross house dates to 1990, with about half of the stock (50.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1990s work. Around a median of 1990 with about half the stock older, the developments were required to hold their storm water on site, so every one has a basin that has since been planted, stocked and presented as a feature.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Norcross gets 56.32 inches a year with November heaviest at 5.25, and the drying season runs from a 42.3-degree January to a 79.6-degree July; rain recorded at NORCROSS 1.2 miles away and temperatures at ATLANTA PEACHTREE AP 7 miles away. November is the wettest month at 5.25 inches of a 56-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the pond takes its heaviest input in a month with no growth; the outlet it depends on is under leaf fall at exactly that time.
How water losses tend to end in Norcross
- A basin that has to rise to work, so the amenity level is not the design level
- Planting around the outlet, so the structure that makes it work is obscured
- Houses fronting onto it, so the properties nearest are those affected when it backs up
