How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Unwatched buildings in Log Lane Village
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Log Lane Village reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. More than half of the homes in Log Lane Village are mobile homes, so most of the town's water lines run beneath floors.
What the homes date from
Just 20.5 percent of the homes in Log Lane Village are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1976, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. In a town where most people live in manufactured homes, the skirting around each one and the heat tape on each supply line do the work an insulated wall does elsewhere.
The months to watch
The freeze season in Log Lane Village runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 12.7 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 14.28 inches in a normal year, 2.39 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded at FT MORGAN, 2.3 miles away. January brings the coldest nights here, and a mobile home loses heat quickly once its furnace stops or its skirting opens to the wind.
The usual failures here
- Mobile homes, more than half of all homes, with every supply line running under the floor
- Skirting loosened by wind over the year, which lets cold air reach the lines beneath the home
- Heat tape that fails quietly over the summer and is not discovered until the first freeze

Frequently asked questions
With so many mobile homes, what should Log Lane Village residents check each fall?
Three things under the home: skirting with no gaps or loose panels, heat tape that is plugged in and working on the supply line, and vents closed for the winter. Most frozen lines under mobile homes start at one of those, and all three can be fixed in an afternoon.
How fast can a mobile home in Log Lane Village freeze if the heat stops?
Faster than a site-built house, because it has less mass to hold heat and its lines run beneath the floor. On a cold January night, a few hours without heat can be enough. A temperature alarm that sends a message gives time to act.
What should be done with a Log Lane Village mobile home left empty for the winter?
Shut off the water, drain the lines and the water heater, and leave faucets open. An empty mobile home with water in its lines is one of the most exposed buildings there is, and in winter a failure can go unnoticed for weeks.

If water is still running, find the main shutoff or, on a well, switch off the pump at its breaker before calling.
