Why Sewage Backups Hit Tanana Hard
Numbers tell the story in Tanana: permafrost thaw shifting and cracking sewer lines drives the majority of emergency restoration calls.
Tanana's permafrost thaw during spring and summer months causes ground instability, leading to cracked and shifted sewer lines. This results in frequent sewage backups, especially in older infrastructure. The region's cold climate and thawing permafrost create a unique challenge for maintaining reliable sewer systems.
