Stones Crossing is where Greenwood is still being built — the health pavilion, the new schools, subdivision after subdivision rising on what was farmland within living memory. Its drains are the youngest in the city: PVC throughout, laid by modern methods, mapped on modern plans. A reasonable person might expect a young system to be a silent one, and for most homes it is — but new subdivisions have their own signature issues, and they arrive on a schedule that surprises owners who believed new meant immune.
The first is what construction leaves behind: gravel, mortar, cuttings and the occasional tool, washed or swept into lines before the first family ever runs a shower. The second is settling — backfill compacting around new laterals in the first years, opening the occasional low spot where sediment gathers. The third is the one Stones Crossing shares with all Greenwood: the water. Scale does not check the age of the house before it starts building, and a subdivision-wide water supply this hard begins its work in every new pipe on the same day.
