What drying runs into in Olean
Serving Olean and the surrounding area, including Boardmanville, South Olean, North Olean, East Olean, Homer Hill, Seneca Heights, Baldwin Heights.
Local housing stock
Only 3.4 percent of Olean's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1938 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1938 with nearly 97 percent of the stock older, the low neighborhoods sit below the level of the outfall, so their drainage is collected and pumped rather than flowing away on its own.
Climate & seasonal risk
June brings 4.48 of the 40.67 inches Olean sees in a normal year, and July averages 68.6 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at OLEAN, 1.1 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.48 inches of a 41-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in early summer; a pumped district is at its most vulnerable when the flow is highest.
How water losses tend to end in Olean
- Drainage that depends on a pump running, so a power failure is a sewage failure
- A station serving many properties, so one failure affects a whole district
- Backflow arriving at the lowest fixtures, so the same houses are affected each time
