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 Ramah
A pipe that splits while nobody is home anywhere in Ramah is one call from an independent restoration contractor. About half of Ramah's homes are heated by propane, a third by electricity, and about one in eight by wood, with no gas line.
How old the buildings are
Just 15.2 percent of the homes in Ramah are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1938, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Around a quarter of homes are mobile homes and many houses predate 1940, so a heating failure here reaches lines under floors and along old walls alike.
The freezing season
A pipe in Ramah faces freezing nights 6 months of the year, down to a normal 14.6-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; August carries 3.17 of the 17.36 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at CALHAN 3.1 N 7.3 miles away and temperatures 17.3 miles away. April nights normally stay below freezing, at 30.3 degrees, so the season here ends late, and a house left unheated through a warm spell in spring is still at risk.
Where Ramah buildings fail first
- Heat from propane, electricity or wood, with no gas service, so every home depends on a tank, the power or a fire
- Mobile homes, about a quarter of the town, with supply lines under the floor
- A town where half the houses date from before 1940, their plumbing threaded through rooms built without it

Frequently asked questions
What happens to a Ramah home when the power goes out in a storm?
If it is heated by electricity, the heat stops at once, and many propane furnaces stop too, because their fans and controls need power. With lines under mobile homes and along old walls, a long outage can freeze them. Draining the lowest faucet protects the lines.
What protects a Ramah mobile home from a frozen supply line?
Intact skirting and working heat tape. The supply line where it rises from the ground is the most exposed part of the home's plumbing, and a gap in the skirting on the windward side is the most common reason it freezes.
How should a Ramah house be left for a winter absence?
With enough fuel for the whole time away and someone checking in, or with the water shut off and the lines drained. In a small town with no gas line, a heat source that fails can go unnoticed long enough to freeze every line.
