Carrick sits on a broad hillside south of the rivers, its older houses mostly owned by the families who have lived in them for years. Original plumbing behind those walls does not handle a hard winter freeze gracefully, and the neighborhood's age means several blocks still tie into combined sewer lines that back up through a floor drain when a storm hits saturated ground. Carrick's original plumbing cracks during hard freezes. Combined sewer lines back up during heavy rain. Hillside terrain sends runoff toward basements.
