Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Oneonta were built and the answer is 1938 at the median, 94.6 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1938 with almost the whole stock predating 1990, these houses stand on hillside lots where somebody at some point dug a drain across the slope above the building to intercept the water coming down it.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Oneonta gets 44.75 inches a year with June heaviest at 4.66, and the drying season runs from a 20.8-degree January to a 66.8-degree July; both figures recorded at EMMONS, 3 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.66 inches of a 44.75-inch year and six months average lows below freezing, so the ground here is frozen for half the year and then takes the melt and the summer rain together; a drain that has silted has to handle both at once.
How water losses tend to end in Oneonta

- Gravel and pipe that silt up over decades, so the capacity falls year by year
- Ground above the house that was being drained and now is not
