Unwatched buildings in Fort Morgan

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Fort Morgan reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. More than two in five Fort Morgan homes are heated by electricity, so one winter power outage stops the heat across much of town.

What the homes date from

Just 23.5 percent of the homes in Fort Morgan are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1970, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. About a fifth of the houses were built before 1940, and in those the lines along exterior walls and in cellars lose warmth fastest when the heat goes off.

The months to watch

Nights in Fort Morgan normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 12.7 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.39 of 14.28 inches a year, both figures recorded at FT MORGAN, 4.3 miles away. December's normal low of 13.1 degrees is nearly as deep as January's, so the hard cold here runs two months, the stretch when a storm that cuts the power costs a house its heat.

The usual failures here

  • Electric heat in more than two homes in five, which stops entirely in a winter power outage
  • Houses built before 1940, about a fifth of the town, with plumbing in cellars and along outside walls
  • Manufactured homes, close to one in ten, whose supply lines under the floor cool quickly once the heat stops

Frequently asked questions

What should Fort Morgan residents do when a winter storm knocks out power?

Keep doors closed, let faucets on outside walls drip if water pressure allows, and watch the temperature in rooms with exposed plumbing. If the outage is long and the house is getting cold, shutting off the water at the main and draining the lowest faucet protects the lines.

Why does electric heat matter for frozen pipes in Fort Morgan?

Because a large share of homes here depend on it, so an outage stops the heat everywhere at once, including in houses whose owners are away. Gas furnaces need power too, but an all-electric home has no fallback at all. A backup heat source helps most in the oldest houses.

Are older Fort Morgan houses harder to protect?

Yes. Houses built before 1940 often have lines in cellars and along outside walls, added long after construction. Those runs cool first when the heat stops. Knowing where they are, and keeping those spaces closed off from the cold, makes the most difference.
