What drying runs into in Sanford
Serving Sanford and the surrounding area, including South Sanford, Colonial Mobile Home Park, Springvale, Alfred Mills, Estes Hill, Wood's Edge Apartments.
Local housing stock
The typical Sanford house dates to 1975, with about three quarters of the stock (76.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1970s work. Around a median of 1975 with three quarters of the stock older, the town grew up alongside a large airfield, so a considerable area of runway, taxiway and apron sheds toward the residential streets nearby.
Climate & seasonal risk
6 months in Sanford have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 9.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in October at 5.35 inches of an annual 51.31; both figures recorded at SANFORD 2 NNW, 2.6 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.35 inches of a 51-inch year and six months average a low below freezing, so the wet season runs into a long freeze; that is the half of the year when de-icing fluid is being used on the pavement.
How water losses tend to end in Sanford
- A very large impermeable area draining as one, so the volume is out of scale with the streets
- De-icing chemicals in the runoff, so what arrives is not clean water
- Discharge at defined outfalls, so it arrives at points rather than spread out
