What drying runs into in Huntington
Serving Huntington and the surrounding area, including Enslow Park Place, Southside, Park Hills, Chancellor Hills, Whitaker Terrace, Freeman Estates, Ridgewood, Gaylersville.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Huntington were built and the answer is 1955 at the median, 87.8 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1955 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the housing sits behind a wall built to keep the river out of the city, which works as intended and also means the ground behind it no longer drains freely toward the channel.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Huntington gets 47.46 inches a year with July heaviest at 5.29, and the drying season runs from a 34.2-degree January to a 76.8-degree July; rain recorded at HUNTINGTON 0.6 WSW 0.5 miles away and temperatures at HUNTINGTON SWG PL 5 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-seven inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in summer; ground that cannot drain toward the river holds that rain and the water table behind the wall rises.
How water losses tend to end in Huntington
- Ground that no longer drains toward the river, so what falls behind the wall stays behind it
- A water table that rises with the rain rather than with the river, so basements fill when the channel is low
- A system that works exactly as built, so there is nothing to repair and the condition is permanent
