What drying runs into in Waterville
Serving Waterville and the surrounding area, including Hayden Corner, Waterville Main Street Historic District.
Local housing stock
The typical Waterville house dates to 1959, with close to nine in ten of the stock (91.6 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1950s work. Around a median of 1959 with more than nine in ten houses older, the town sits on a river that was used to move timber, and the works built for that and the debris it left are still in and along the channel.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 69.6 degrees against 18.7; the 43.36 inches a year peak in October at 4.9, both figures recorded at WATERVILLE TRTMT PLT, 1.3 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.9 inches of a 43-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in autumn just before the freeze; a channel with obstructions in it passes that badly.
How water losses tend to end in Waterville
- Sunken timber and old works in the channel, so the effective width is less than it appears
- Obstructions that catch debris, so restrictions build during an event
- A riverbed altered by a century of use, so its behavior is not what its width suggests
