(A) Water supply.
(1) The owner shall provide an accessible, adequate and safe supply of water to all campground facilities. If a public water system of the quantity, quality and pressure is available, the owner shall connect to the public water system. The public water system shall be used exclusively. Travel parks within the jurisdiction of the city will have access to a public water system.
(2) The water system within the travel park is considered a private water system; therefore, the owner of the travel park is the owner of a private water system. As the owner of the private water system, water samples shall be submitted prior to initial startup. Results of the initial startup water sample shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works prior to operation for the season. Additional samples shall be submitted quarterly to an EPA-certified laboratory (South Dakota Health Laboratory) for bacteriological analysis while the campground is in operation. Results of each sample shall be sent to the Department of Public Works for review. The owner shall submit a nitrate test of the water supply system yearly. The owner of a private water system shall report any unsafe water sample to the Department of Public Works within three days. If an unsafe drinking water sample is reported, the campground shall provide two consecutive safe water samples prior to allowing the public to use the private water supply.
(B) Water storage and distribution facilities. The water storage and distribution facilities shall be designed to provide a minimum of 100 gallons per day per campsites and cabins. Peak flows shall be determined by the average design flow multiplied by a factor of two. Each water storage reservoir shall be covered, water-tight and constructed of impervious material. Each water storage and distribution facility shall be sanitized and cleaned prior to use each year. Each overflow and vent of a reservoir shall be effectively screened. Each manhole shall be constructed with a raised lip and overlapping cover to prevent the entrance of contaminated material. No water piping system may be connected to any non- potable or unapproved water supply. The system shall be protected against any hazard of backflow or back siphonage. The system shall be designed and maintained to provide a pressure of not less than 20 pounds per square inch under normal operating conditions at each outlet and mixture requiring potable water.
(C) Watering solutions. Each campground shall be provided with at least one easily accessible water supply outlet for obtaining potable water for individual use and for filling any camping unit water storage tank. Each water supply outlet shall consist of at least a water hydrant and any necessary appurtenance and shall be protected against any hazard of backflow and back siphonage. No designated campsite within an improved camping area may be more than 200 feet from a water supply outlet. Each watering station for potable water use shall be located at least 15 feet from a sanitary dump station. Signage shall be provided to identify this as a potable water source and not to be used for flushing waste tanks, or other similar warnings.
(D) Water connection system. The individual potable water connection shall meet the following requirements.
(1) Each riser pipe provided shall be located and constructed so that the pipe will not be damaged by the parking of the camping units.
(2) Each riser pipe shall extend at least 18 inches above the ground elevation; pipe size shall be at least three-quarters of an inch.
(3) If potable water is provided at each campsite, the potable water riser shall be a minimum of five feet away from the sewer connection at the same campsite or adjacent campsite.
(4) Potable water at the sanitary dump stations shall be a minimum of 15 feet from the sewer connection.
(E) Wastewater disposal.
(1) Each campground shall have a wastewater collection and treatment system to convey and dispose of all wastewater. The system shall be designed by a professional engineer registered in this state, constructed and maintained in accordance with SDDANR administration rules.
(2) A minimum of one sanitary dump station shall be provided at each travel park. An additional sanitary dump station shall be provided per each 40 campsites that do not have a sewer connection at the campsite.
(3) Sewer connection systems shall meet the following requirements.
(a) The sewer riser pipe must be a minimum of four-inch diameter PVC pipe and must be located on the campsite or at the specified dump station.
(b) The sewer connection shall have a nominal inside diameter of at least four inches, and the slope of any portion of it shall be one-fourth inch for each foot. The sewer connection system shall consist of one pipeline only, without any branch fittings. Each joint shall be water-tight.
(c) Materials used for the sewer system shall be corrosive-resistant, nonabsorbent and durable, with a smooth inner surface.
(d) A tight-fitting plug or cover for the sewer connection system shall be in place when a camping unit does not occupy the campsite. The tight-fitting cover shall be designed to prevent contamination of hands when activated, surface water infiltration and odors escaping.
(e) The sanitary sewer connection shall be surrounded at the inlet by an approved 48 inch by 48 inch by four inch-thick concrete apron that is at least four inches above the surrounding grade and sloped to the connection pipe.
(f) Surface drainage shall be diverted away from the sewer connection concrete apron.
(g) Sanitary dump stations shall have non-potable rinse water outlets mounted on a retractable reel or similar device to ensure the nozzle does not touch the ground when not in use; signage specifying unsafe/unpotable water shall be in place at all times. The rinse water outlet shall have a backflow prevention system installed.
(F) Grey water.
(1) No grey water may be discharged onto or allowed to accumulate on the ground surface.
(2) Accidental or purposeful discharge of grey water or black water on the surface shall be in violation of SDDANR administration rules and shall be abated in accordance with SDDANR administration rules. The cost of abatement and fines shall be assessed to the camping unit owner and/or property owner.
(G) Maintenance. Sanitary sewer and water supply systems shall be properly maintained at all times. New or replacement water and sewer distribution and collection systems shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the city standards.
