(A) General. There shall be a safe, adequate, continuous and conveniently located potable water supply provided for each development in compliance with applicable regulations. The water supply and pressure shall be adequate for the development’s requirements. Water for drinking, cooking, laundry, and general sanitary uses for each individual manufactured dwelling shall be obtained only from faucets or other plumbing connections located within each dwelling unit. Where a municipal water supply is available, connection shall be made thereto and its supply used exclusively. When a municipal water supply is not available, a community water supply shall be developed, and its supply used exclusively in accordance with the standards of Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
(B) Specifics.
(1) If the development is to be located within 300 feet of a public water system, the developer is encouraged to connect to the system. A certification shall be provided that the public water system will provide water to the development. Fire hydrants shall be installed in any development hooking to a public water system.
(2) If the development is not within 300 feet of a public water system or the developer does not connect to the public water system, a private water system shall be installed, inspected, tested and approved by the County Public Health Department or the state. Dry hydrants may be required in areas near large bodies of water to facilitate fire protection to the development.
(3) Calculations showing the maximum capacity of the water system shall be submitted along with calculations showing the maximum daily water usage of the development.
(4) The construction of the project may be phased, with future phases being constructed as additional water becomes available. No phase shall include less than 15 spaces. No construction phase may begin until an assured water supply has been determined.
(5) An emergency water supply plan shall be submitted where the development is not connected to a public water supply.
(6) The issuance of manufactured home permits for a manufactured home park shall be suspended where the water system or any component has failed, until the time as the system is restored to full function. Where the water system has more than 1 component and 1 or more components fails, leaving occupied spaces with no water, the park owner shall, at his or her expense, move any existing manufactured unit to alternate spaces within the park with a functioning water system.
(7) Where wells are used for water supply purposes, every reasonable precaution shall be taken to prevent possible contamination of the well. Areas within 100 feet of a water supply well shall not be used for septic tank drainage fields, replacement drainage fields, stormwater runoff detention, storage of toxic or hazardous materials, garbage collection or other uses that are deemed as a potential risk to the water supply. Grading and drainage shall be evaluated for positive slope, and other potential risk to the water supply.
(8) All public toilet, shower, lavatory, faucets, drinking fountains and laundry facilities must be maintained in a clean, sanitary condition and be kept in good repair and working order at all times. They shall be safely and adequately lighted. Facilities shall be easily accessible to all persons, including handicapped persons, and shall be conveniently located. Areas around outdoor faucets or drinking fountains shall be properly drained.
