How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Morrison leak can run
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Morrison reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. More than a third of Morrison's homes were built before 1940, and nearly all of them were standing before 1990.
The buildings themselves
Of the 151 homes in Morrison, about 142 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1954; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. The median house dates to 1954, so the town's plumbing was mostly laid out before modern insulation standards, and about one home in fourteen shares walls in a small multi-unit building.
Weather that sets the risk
Over a normal year Morrison spends 7 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 12.5 degrees in January, while July, at an average 65.1 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 18.78 inches fall in a normal year, 2.49 of them in April, rain recorded 4.1 miles away and temperatures 5.8 miles away. Freezing nights begin in October here, so a house emptied after the summer is exposed for half the year before anyone plans a spring visit.
What to watch in Morrison

Frequently asked questions
What does a 1950s Morrison house need on the coldest January nights?
Their plumbing was often fitted after construction, along exterior walls or through crawl spaces. Those lines freeze first when the heat is turned down. Keeping the thermostat steady and cabinet doors open on outside walls protects them.
What makes April tricky for Morrison homes?
It is the wettest month here and nights are still freezing, so a hose left connected can freeze while the gutters are overflowing. Keeping outdoor faucets winterized until May avoids both problems.
In a Morrison duplex, what happens if one side sits empty in winter?
A frozen line on the empty side can flood the occupied side through the shared wall. The owner of the empty unit should keep the heat on and have someone look inside every few days.
