Why Sewage Backups Hit New Stuyahok Hard
Numbers tell the story in New Stuyahok: permafrost thaw shifting and cracking sewer lines drives the majority of emergency restoration calls.
New Stuyahok's permafrost thaw during spring and summer months can cause significant ground movement, leading to cracked and shifted sewer lines. This results in frequent sewage backups, especially in areas with older infrastructure. The thawing process also increases the risk of water infiltration into sewage systems, compounding the problem.
