What drying runs into in Fall River
Serving Fall River and the surrounding area, including Corky Row, Highlands, Lower Highlands, Downtown.
Local housing stock
Roughly 39,130 of Fall River's 44,576 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1945; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1945 with nearly nine in ten predating 1990, this dense older stock includes a great many lots built on twice, with a front house on the street and a second dwelling behind it reached down a narrow passage at the side.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 72.1 degrees against 29.9; the 49.25 inches a year peak in October at 5.07, rain recorded at SOMERSET 0.4 SSE 3.2 miles away and temperatures at NEW BEDFORD MUNI AP 7.8 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.07 inches of a 49.25-inch year and four months average lows below freezing, so autumn rain falls into a yard that two buildings shed onto; the rear house sits at the bottom of that and takes what the front one sends back.
How water losses tend to end in Fall River
- Two buildings draining onto one small yard, so runoff from one arrives at the foundation of the other
- A shared supply, so isolating the water for one house stops it for both
- A rear building reached only on foot down a side passage, so equipment and materials are carried in
