Trinchera: what fails while nobody is home

From the middle of Trinchera to its edge, a building left unwatched through a freeze is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Nearly two in three households in the 81081 ZIP code area around Trinchera rent their homes, and about one in seven heats with wood.

The housing, by age

Homes across the 81081 ZIP code area, which includes Trinchera, date to 1984 at the median, with 20.7 percent built after 1989. Across that area, propane heats most homes, and a renter may not control when the tank is filled, so a missed delivery can leave a house without heat before anyone responsible hears about it.

Cold months and wet months

A pipe in Trinchera faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 18.4-degree low in December, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; July carries 2.13 of the 12.65 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at TRINIDAD PERRY STOKES AP, 22.1 miles away. Normal lows are already down to 26.2 degrees in November, so a rental whose tank runs low in late fall can freeze before the coldest month arrives.

The weak points here

  • Renters in nearly two households in three, who may not know where the shutoff valve is
  • Wood heat in about one home in seven, which stops when the stove burns down
  • Propane heat in most homes, where a late delivery lets the house cool

Frequently asked questions

Who should a Trinchera renter call when the propane runs low?

The landlord first, since the lease may make the tank the owner's job, and then the supplier if the landlord cannot be reached. With December the coldest month here, letting a tank run dry can freeze the lines within a day.

What should a Trinchera home heated with wood have as a backup?

A heat source that runs on its own, such as a thermostat-controlled propane or electric heater. A wood stove burns down within hours, and an empty house cools fast after that.

Which two facts should every Trinchera tenant have on hand by November?

Where the main water shutoff is, and who to call after hours. Shutting the water off quickly after a split line limits the damage to one room instead of the whole house.
