What drying runs into in Watertown
Serving Watertown and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 6,817 of Watertown's 11,110 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1979; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1979 with six in ten houses older, the properties on the edge of town keep the planted shelterbelts that make life possible on open prairie, rows of conifers set to the windward side of the buildings.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 22.71 inches, 3.85 of them in June, against a warm season that peaks at 71 degrees in July; both figures recorded at WATERTOWN RGNL AP, 0.4 miles away. June is the wettest month at 3.85 inches of a 23-inch year and six months average a low below freezing with January lows near three degrees, so most of the year's water arrives as snow that the wind moves and the trees catch.
How water losses tend to end in Watertown
- A drift held by the trees, so a large volume of snow is stored close to the buildings
- Release concentrated in the melt, so it all arrives over a few days in spring
- A planting that is doing its job, so the cause is a feature rather than a fault
