What drying runs into in Granite City
Serving Granite City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 11,323 of Granite City's 12,854 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1957; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1957 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the city occupies the flat bottomland behind the Mississippi levee, where the ground is lower than the river and nothing drains away by gravity.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Granite City gets 45.07 inches a year with May heaviest at 5.39, and the drying season runs from a 30.3-degree January to a 78.3-degree July; rain recorded at GRANITE CITY 1.4 ENE 1.1 miles away and temperatures at ALTON - MELVIN PRICE L&D 9.6 miles away. May is the wettest month at 5.39 inches of a 45-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in spring, which is also when the river outside is highest and the pumps are working hardest.
How water losses tend to end in Granite City
- Drainage that depends on pumps running, so a power or plant failure affects the whole district
- Rain and a high river arriving together, so the demand peaks when the outlet is worst
- A condition covering the whole town, so there is no higher ground within reach to drain to
