(A) General. An accessible, adequate, safe, and potable supply of water shall be provided in each trailer court capable of furnishing a minimum of 125 gallons per day per trailer coach space. Where a public supply of water of such quality is available, connection shall be made thereto and its supply shall be used exclusively. The development of an independent water supply to serve the trailer court shall be made only after express approval has been granted by the Health Officer.
(1990 Code, § 6.141)
(B) Connections. The water system of the trailer court shall be connected by pipes to all buildings and all trailer coach spaces.
(1990 Code, § 6.142)
(C) Cross connections. All water piping shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with state and local law; the water piping system shall not be connected with non-potable or questionable water supplies, nor be subject to the hazards of backflow or back-siphonage.
(1990 Code, § 6.143)
(D) Drinking fountains. Drinking fountains of a type approved by the Health Officer shall be made available to suitable locations in the court for public use.
(1990 Code, § 6.144)
(E) Trailer coach connections. Individual water-service connections which are provided for direct use by trailer coaches shall be so constructed that they will not be damaged by the parking of such coaches. The trailer court water system shall be adequate to provide 20 pounds per square inch of pressure at all trailer coach connections.
(1990 Code, § 6.145)
(F) Water sources. Where an individual water system is used to serve the trailer court, with water obtained from wells, the wells shall have been approved by the Health Officer and shall have been drilled or driven. Springs or other sources of supply shall not be used except after approval by the Health Officer.
(1990 Code, § 6.146)
(G) Wells; location. Every well shall be located and constructed in such a manner that neither underground nor surface contamination will reach the water supply from any source. A minimum distance of 150 feet shall be maintained between the water supply and any cesspool. A minimum distance of 100 feet shall be maintained between the water supply and any other possible source of contamination, except that sewers or pipes through which sewage may back up shall be located at least 50 feet from any well or water-suction pipeline. Where such sewers or pipes are specially constructed to provide adequate safeguards, and when specifically authorized by the Health Officer, such sewers or pipes through which sewage may back up may be closer than 50 feet, but not less than 30 feet, from a well.
(1990 Code, § 6.147)
(H) Well houses. No well-casing, pumps, pumping machinery, or suction pipes shall be located in any pit, room, or space extending below ground level nor in any room or space above ground which is walled in or otherwise enclosed, unless such rooms, whether above or below ground, have free drainage by gravity to the surface of the ground. The floor of rooms above ground shall be at least six inches above the ground’s surface. All floors shall be watertight and sloped from the pump pedestal to the drain. The pedestal shall be 12 inches above the floor.
(1990 Code, § 6.148)
(I) Reservoirs. All water-storage reservoirs shall be watertight and constructed of impervious material; all overflows and vents of such reservoirs shall be effectively screened. Open reservoirs are prohibited. Manholes shall be constructed with overlapping covers so as to prevent the entrance of contaminated material. Overflow pipes from a reservoir shall not connect to any pipe in which sewage or polluted water may back up.
