What drying runs into in St. Charles
Serving St. Charles and the surrounding area, including New Town.
Local housing stock
Only 43.6 percent of St. Charles's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1986 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1986 with a little over half the stock older, the subdivisions were built with the sump discharges connected into a common underground line running to a storm outfall rather than each house discharging onto its own ground.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in St. Charles have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 21.9 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in May at 5.45 inches of an annual 45.71; both figures recorded at ST CHARLES ELM PT, 1.3 miles away. May is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-six inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in a warm spring; that is when every pump on the line is running at once and the shared pipe is carrying all of them.
How water losses tend to end in St. Charles
- Several houses discharging into one line, so the pipe carries the whole street during a wet spell
- A line that backs up when it cannot keep up, so water returns to whichever house sits lowest
- A shared asset nobody maintains, so a blockage in it affects houses that have nothing wrong with them
