What drying runs into in Orem
Serving Orem and the surrounding area, including Orem Station, Riverbottoms, Geneva, Heritage Farms.
Local housing stock
Only 48.6 percent of Orem's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1989 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, the city sits on the flats left behind by the ancient lake, where the soil is a fine uniform silt rather than the gravel of the benches above it.
Climate & seasonal risk
May brings 2.01 of the 17.19 inches Orem sees in a normal year, and July averages 78.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at PROVO BYU, 4.4 miles away. May is the wettest month at 2.01 inches of a 17-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so rainfall does very little; the ground is loaded instead by irrigation and by the spring melt coming down off the mountains behind.
How water losses tend to end in Orem
- Fine silt that holds water rather than draining, so wet ground stays wet for a long time
- Strength falling away as it saturates, so support is lost where the water goes
- Uniform material over a wide area, so a whole street behaves the same way at the same time
