On Crosby Pump Station, half of its last 5 outages lasted at least 26 hours

This is not a forecast. It is how long past outages lasted. Each dot is one past outage, placed by its length: the last 5 outages on Crosby Pump Station. A hollow dot with an arrow had no reported end: JW's reports stopped before it ended, or it was still going at JW's last report. Either way it lasted at least that long (1 of 5).

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 6 days. JW published a report for it on 106 of the 272 days in the record; the other 166 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 4 such days.

2025: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 0 days. JW published a report for it on 7 of the 304 days in the record; the other 297 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 1 such day.

The last 5 outages JW reported on this supply lasted a median of at least 26 hours; the longest at least 2.1 days. 1 of them had no reported end (still open, or JW's reports stopped), so they count at the length so far. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Crosby Pump Station on 18 July 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 178 statuses on 178 boards, over 113 days. 0 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.

Each row is one outage: a stretch of time JW reported Crosby Pump Station at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”, newest first. An outage has no reported end when JW's reports stopped before it ended, or when it was still going at JW's last report; its length is then a minimum.
