What drying runs into in Derby
Serving Derby and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 5,402 of Derby's 11,026 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1991; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1991 with about half the stock older, these houses discharge their sump through a pipe that ends just past the foundation planting, delivering into the same ground the pump is drawing from a few feet below.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Derby gets 39.01 inches a year with May heaviest at 6.39, and the drying season runs from a 32.2-degree January to a 80.3-degree July; rain recorded at DERBY 2.9 N 2.1 miles away and temperatures at HAYSVILLE 3SE 4.2 miles away. May is the wettest month at 6.39 inches of a 39.01-inch year and three months average lows below freezing, so the wet season arrives in a few very heavy storms; that is when a pump is running hardest and when its own discharge has the least chance of soaking away.
How water losses tend to end in Derby
- Water returned to the ground it came from, so the pump works against itself
- Soil beside the foundation kept saturated by the house's own drainage
- A pump running far more often than the weather alone would require
