How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Where water hides in Briggsdale
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Briggsdale reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. None of Briggsdale's 35 houses heats with gas: more than nine in ten burn propane, and December's normal low sits near 9 degrees.
Age of the homes
Of the 35 homes in Briggsdale, about 15 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1992; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. More than half the houses are newer than 1990, but a newer house on a tank is only as warm as the last delivery, and in a town of 35 homes nobody may pass by for a day.
Freeze and thaw
Nights in Briggsdale normally fall below freezing 7 months of the year, deepest in December at 9.4 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.08 of 13.43 inches a year, both figures recorded at BRIGGSDALE, 0.3 miles away. October's normal low is already 31 degrees, so the tank should be full and the hoses off before the month begins.
Failures that go unseen here
- Propane tanks behind nearly every house, with December lows near single digits waiting if a delivery is missed
- A seven-month freezing season, October to April, that outlasts a tank filled only once in the fall
- Four mobile homes among 35 houses, where the water line enters from below the floor

Frequently asked questions
How many propane fills does a Briggsdale winter take?
That depends on the tank and the house, but a single fall fill rarely covers a season that runs from October into April. An automatic delivery schedule, or a tank gauge checked every couple of weeks, keeps the furnace from going out in the coldest stretch of December.
What happens to a Briggsdale house when the propane runs out on a December night?
The furnace stops, and with lows near 9 degrees the house cools within hours. The first lines to freeze are those along outside walls and in any crawl space. Turning off the main valve and opening a faucet until the tank is refilled prevents a split.
Is April still winter for Briggsdale plumbing?
Yes. Normal nights are below freezing into April, so outdoor faucets should stay off and hoses disconnected until May, and the tank should not be allowed to run low just because the days have warmed.
