What drying runs into in Urbana
Serving Urbana and the surrounding area, including Lierman, AmVets II, Edgewood, Gregory Place, Savannah Green, The Cottages at Illinois, Beringer Commons, The Reserve.
Local housing stock
Only 39.1 percent of Urbana's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1980 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1980 with six in ten houses older, the neighborhoods adjoin a university heated from a central plant through a network of walk-through tunnels running beneath the campus and the surrounding blocks.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Urbana gets 40.19 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.75, and the drying season runs from a 25.7-degree January to a 75.2-degree July; rain recorded at URBANA 0.1 SSE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at CHAMPAIGN 3S 2.9 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.75 inches of a 40-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heating season is long; a tunnel carrying steam through wet ground is warm and dry inside and draws toward itself.
How water losses tend to end in Urbana
- A warm dry void in wet ground, so moisture moves toward it through the soil
- Tunnel walls that leak inward, so ground water is drawn to a route it would not otherwise take
- Infrastructure belonging to the university, so its condition is not the city's or the household's
