What drying runs into in South Portland
Serving South Portland and the surrounding area, including Cash Corner, Ligonia, Pleasantdale, Turner Island, Broadview Park, Stanwood Park, Thornton Heights, Crocketts Corner.
Local housing stock
Roughly 9,520 of South Portland's 12,782 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1968; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1968 with three quarters of the stock older, the residential streets run up to the edge of a working oil terminal district, where large paved and bunded areas adjoin ordinary neighborhoods.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 48.12 inches, 5.25 of them in October, against a warm season that peaks at 70.4 degrees in July; both figures recorded at PORTLAND INTL JETPORT, 1.5 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5.25 inches of a 48-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in autumn; a bunded site collects that and has to release it deliberately rather than shedding it.
How water losses tend to end in South Portland
- Bunded ground that holds rather than drains, so release is managed and periodic
- Very large paved areas adjoining housing, so what leaves the site is substantial
- Discharge that is monitored, so the records exist if anyone asks for them
