What drying runs into in Traverse City
Serving Traverse City and the surrounding area, including Traverse Heights, Oakwood, Boughey Hill, Oak Park, Boardman Neighborhood, Old Towne, Oakwood Triangle, Fernwood.
Local housing stock
The typical Traverse City house dates to 1964, with about three quarters of the stock (74.3 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1964 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, a number of these properties are served by a sand point driven into the shallow water table rather than by a deep drilled well or a municipal connection.
Climate & seasonal risk
October brings 3.6 of the 29.12 inches Traverse City sees in a normal year, and July averages 70.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at TRAVERSE CITY CHERRY CPTL AP, 1.4 miles away. October is the wettest month at 3.6 inches of a 29.12-inch year and five months average lows below freezing, so the shallow table these points draw from rises and falls with the season; the supply and the ground water are the same water here.
How water losses tend to end in Traverse City
- A supply drawn from the shallow ground water beside the building
- A pump and pressure tank in the basement, drawing against a table that varies
- A point that clogs or loses suction, so the system runs dry and the pump keeps running
