So we’re officially in a moderate drought here in Indy. All but about five days so far this month have seen above average temps and the only rain we’ve seen since the first was a fraction of an inch back in the first week of September. This has two big effects in the neighborhood:
- First, the leaves on the trees are going to turn earlier than usual. Some have already started.
- Second, as I may have mentioned, Broad Ripple has an elderly sewer network that combines both sanitary and storm sewers. Go a few weeks without rain and things can get a little whiff at bigger intersections near the storm sewer drains, since there hasn’t been storm water flow to wash everything down to its final destination.
