Housing in Putnam County spans two eras, with US Census ACS estimates placing 39.5% of 36,614 units before 1980. The estimated median Putnam County structure is 41 years old. In a mixed vintage county like Putnam, the older 39.5% carries most of the infiltration and inflow risk.

NOAA precipitation data shows Putnam County at 27.6 inches for the trailing 12 months at 92% station coverage, a dry window. A dry window understates risk, because Putnam County never saw the groundwater that exposes infiltration and inflow. No active Clean Water Act enforcement is on record for Putnam County in EPA ECHO, so budget cycles set the schedule.
