Carter Lake climate
by the numbers
Carter Lake's unique plumbing challenges
About 134 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 Council Bluffs
First frost typically lands around October 20
Seasonal timing
January lows average 15 degrees, and a sump discharge line that runs above grade will freeze solid at that temperature, which backs water up into the pit while the pump keeps running.

Most last several years of steady duty, less where the pit fills constantly. A pump that runs continuously through a wet week is near the end of its service life even if it's still moving water.
It empties slowly and holds a little water in the last section, which turns to ice on a cold night. A discharge that exits above grade and slopes back toward the house is the version that gives the most trouble.
It matters most where a power outage and heavy rain arrive together, which is exactly the pattern here. A finished basement is the usual reason people add one.
The utility does. If neighbors on the same block lose pressure at the same time, that's a main issue rather than anything on your property, and the same holds over in Ralston.
