What drying runs into in Beacon
Serving Beacon and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Only 24.1 percent of Beacon's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1957 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1957 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the town was built over its own watercourses, which were put into stone and brick culverts as the streets went in and then built over.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 4.91 of the 49.16 inches Beacon sees in a normal year, and July averages 75.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at BEACON 4.2 ESE 4.1 miles away and temperatures at WEST POINT 7.8 miles away. August is the wettest month at 4.91 inches of a 49-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain comes as summer storms; a hundred-year-old culvert carrying a mountain creek meets all of that at once.
How water losses tend to end in Beacon
- A watercourse running beneath the properties, so a route exists that no plan shows
- A culvert of masonry a century old, so leaks and partial collapses are to be expected
- Water appearing under a building with no surface source, so the cause is not found by looking
