What drying runs into in Flint
Serving Flint and the surrounding area, including East Village Neighborhood, Carriage Town, Civic Park, Brownell Holmes.
Local housing stock
96.3 percent of Flint's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1954, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1954 with nineteen houses in twenty older, much of the supply is still the original galvanized steel, and decades of internal corrosion have narrowed and thinned it unevenly; the pipe is holding, but it is holding at a point where disturbing one section puts pressure on the next.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 3.68 of the 32.88 inches Flint sees in a normal year, and July averages 71.1 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at FLINT 7W, 4 miles away. May is the wettest month at under four inches of a thirty-three inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the year is dry by most standards and the cold is long; the supply failures here are not weather events at all, and they arrive in whatever month the pipework decides.
How water losses tend to end in Flint
- Supply corroded thin along its length, so a repair at one point commonly brings on a failure at the next
- Losses arriving in sequence rather than singly, so a house can be dried and back in the same condition weeks later
- Pipe that reads sound from outside, so there is no way to tell which section is closest to going
