Frequently asked questions
The mill is closed. Why does that still wet houses in July?
The village layout remains. Streets, ditches, and crawlspace cottages were built for a mill, not for 5.31 inches on sealed clay. July rain still uses those paths. Closing the mill did not retile the lots or enlarge the pipes.
The drainage here is the original mill system. Can it handle the town now?
Not in a July burst. Those ditches and pipes were sized for a mill village, and they surcharge into the lowest streets once a modern town's roofs feed them. The system did not fail; it was outgrown.
Half the houses are post-1990. Are those dry?
Not if they copied the grade. Later brick on the same red clay still sheds toward the slab or the crawl when the lot was cut like a mill street. The 1989 median is a mix, not a guarantee. Ask how the lot was graded, not only when the house was finished.
