What drying runs into in Chesapeake
Serving Chesapeake and the surrounding area, including West Road Estates, Pines of Warrick, Dove Acres, Seabrooke Landing, Cedar Lakes Townhouses, Lochaven Estates, Goodman Village, Bells Mill.
Local housing stock
Roughly 50,211 of Chesapeake's 96,816 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1989; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1989 with about half the stock older, a great deal of the city was made usable by cutting drainage ditches through low wet ground, and those open channels remain the drainage system for whole neighborhoods.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Chesapeake has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 33.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 6.07 inches of an annual 53.99; rain recorded at PORTSMOUTH 4.1 SSE 8.5 miles away and temperatures at FENTRESS NAAS 9.3 miles away. September is the wettest month at 6.07 inches of a 54-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the ditches carry all year with no frozen pause; they also grow all year, and a channel full of growth carries very little.
How water losses tend to end in Chesapeake
- Open channels doing the work of a storm system, so their condition changes with the season
- Ground that was swamp, so the water table sits close under the surface as a normal state
- A network crossing many properties, so clearing one stretch achieves nothing on its own
