What drying runs into in Pontiac
Serving Pontiac and the surrounding area, including Fairgrove, Franklin Boulevard, Downtown, Modern Housing.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Pontiac were built and the answer is 1961 at the median, 80.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1961 with eight in ten houses older, the center of the city was reorganised around a ring road built through existing neighborhoods, cutting across streets and drainage that predated it.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 3.81 of the 33.88 inches Pontiac sees in a normal year, and July averages 72.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at PONTIAC WWTP, 1.8 miles away. May is the wettest month at 3.81 inches of a 34-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the totals are modest; what matters is that an embankment across the natural fall holds even a modest storm back.
How water losses tend to end in Pontiac
- A raised road across the old drainage pattern, so water is held on the uphill side
- Culverts under it carrying everything, so a few openings serve a wide area
- neighborhoods cut off from their old outfall, so the historic route no longer exists
