What drying runs into in Chicopee

Local housing stock
Only 12.5 percent of Chicopee's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1958 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1958 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the low-lying districts by the water are protected by earth embankments built along the bank, with the housing immediately behind them.
Climate & seasonal risk
October brings 5.16 of the 50.27 inches Chicopee sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LUDLOW 2.3 SW 3.5 miles away and temperatures at WESTFIELD BARNES MUNI AP 7.6 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.16 inches of a 50-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in autumn; a dike that keeps the river out also stops the rain behind it from getting away.
How water losses tend to end in Chicopee
- Local rainfall trapped behind the embankment, so it has to be pumped or held
- Ground water passing under the dike, so the barrier is less complete than it appears
- Protection that is only as good as its weakest length, so condition matters along the whole run
