What drying runs into in Bethlehem
Serving Bethlehem and the surrounding area, including Elmwood Park, Parkhill Manor, Central Bethlehem, Park Side, Minsi Trail Farm, Edgeboro, Cloverleaf, Bethlehem Heights.
Local housing stock
Only 13.2 percent of Bethlehem'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 nearly nine in ten houses older, the neighborhoods run up to the boundary of a former steel works whose ground was built up over decades with furnace waste rather than soil.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.36 inches, 5.3 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 75.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at ALLENTOWN INTL AP, 4.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at 5.3 inches of a 47-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer; coarse slag fill takes all of it straight down and moves it sideways at depth.
How water losses tend to end in Bethlehem
- Coarse fill that carries water freely, so flow arrives from the works ground at depth
- A boundary between fill and natural soil, so water emerges where the two meet
- Material of unknown composition, so what the water carries with it is not a given
