How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
What goes unnoticed in Nunn
A pipe that splits while nobody is home anywhere in Nunn is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Nearly every occupied home in Nunn is lived in by its owner, and 51 of its houses date from before 1940.
How old the buildings are
With a median build year of 1968 and roughly two thirds of its homes (65.6 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Nunn was laid out in the late 1960s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. In a town of owners there is no landlord checking in, so an old house left for a winter trip depends entirely on its own heat and on whoever the owner asks to look in.
The freezing season
A pipe in Nunn faces freezing nights 7 months of the year, down to a normal 13.5-degree low in December, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.9 of the 14.69 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at NUNN 1.2 ENE 1.6 miles away and temperatures at NUNN 7 NNE 6.7 miles away. Nights normally fall below freezing by October, at 31.9 degrees, and are still at 29.6 in April, so an owner's winter trip can start or end in freezing weather.
Where Nunn buildings fail first
- Only three renting households in the whole town, so a December trip leaves each house to its owner and whoever gets a key
- The 51 pre-1940 houses, whose lines tend to hug the walls facing the October-to-April cold
- Freezing nights from October into April, a long season for an empty house

Frequently asked questions
Who checks a Nunn house while its owner travels in winter?
Only whoever the owner asks. With nearly every home owner-occupied, there is no landlord or manager making rounds. A neighbor with a key who looks inside every few days, and a thermostat set at a moderate level, prevent most frozen pipes.
Along which walls do pre-1940 Nunn houses lose their pipes first?
Their plumbing was added after they were built, often along exterior walls exposed to the wind. Those lines lose heat before the rooms do. Opening cabinet doors on outside walls during a cold snap and sealing gaps around the foundation helps.
By which month does Nunn plumbing need its fall preparation done?
By October, because freezing nights begin then and run into April, with December the coldest. Disconnecting hoses, closing crawl-space vents and checking the furnace in early fall prepares an old house for the season.
