Old Forge climate
by the numbers
Old Forge's unique plumbing challenges
About 120 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Moosic
First frost typically lands around October 19
Seasonal timing
Winter runs about 120 nights below freezing here, and the drain stack in an unheated cellar takes that cold without any of the insulation the supply lines get.

Iron is dark and heavy and sounds solid when tapped, where plastic pipe is white or black and light enough to move by hand. Both turn up in the same older house, with plastic patched into an original iron run.
It changes the supply side, not the drainage. A well brings a pressure tank and a pump into the picture, where city water brings a meter and a curb stop. The waste stack ages the same either way.
The homeowner owns the lateral in almost every case, including the section under the sidewalk and often the connection at the main. The borough or city takes over at the main itself. That split is why a collapse in the front yard lands on the property owner.
Most often a failing joint or a rusted section overhead rather than anything from the fixture itself. Cast iron corrodes from the inside, so the outside can look sound while the wall of the pipe is thin. It needs eyes on the pipe, not a guess.
February averages a low of 21 degrees and January runs about 36 for a high. Roughly 120 nights a year fall below freezing.
