Local housing stock
Of the homes in Fort Lupton, 42.1 percent are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1980, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. An old house let to a tenant has plumbing along its outside walls and an occupant who may never have been shown where the water shuts off.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Fort Lupton normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 16.1 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.28 of 13.57 inches a year, rain recorded 4.9 miles away and temperatures 9.8 miles away. January is the coldest month here, and May the wettest, so the freeze season closes just as the spring rains begin.
