What drying runs into in University Park
Serving University Park and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 24.4 percent of University Park's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1976 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1976 with three quarters of the stock older, the village was developed as a planned community rather than growing outward, so the streets, the sewers and the storm drainage all went in together to one design.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 73.9 degrees against 23.2; the 42.1 inches a year peak in June at 4.91, both figures recorded at PARK FOREST, 3.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.91 inches of a 42-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the demand on that system peaks in early summer; a network installed in one season reaches the end of its life in one season too.
How water losses tend to end in University Park
- A drainage system of a single age, so faults appear across the village at once
- One design throughout, so a weakness in it is repeated everywhere rather than isolated
- A small tax base carrying a full municipal system, so renewal is slower than the wear
