What drying runs into in Luzerne
Serving Luzerne and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 1,562 of Luzerne's 1,570 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1950; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1950 with virtually the whole stock older, the houses sit below banks of mine waste tipped over generations, which are steep, loose and largely unvegetated even now.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 4.72 of the 45.37 inches Luzerne sees in a normal year, and July averages 73.7 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at FORTY FORT 0.4 NNE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at WILKES-BARRE INTL AP 9.4 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.72 inches of a 45-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so heavy rain arrives in early autumn on bare loose material; a culm bank sheds and moves rather than absorbing.
How water losses tend to end in Luzerne
- Loose unvegetated material above the houses, so runoff arrives carrying it
- Black fines washing into drains and yards, so what arrives stains and blocks
- Banks that are nobody's clear responsibility, so the source is outside anyone's control
