DISCUSSION OF SEWER SERVICE POLICY FOR MOBILE HOMES PARKS
Engineering Director of Facilities, Ed Hilton, gav
background information on the sewer policy for mobile hom
parks. He stated under the current policy, ~obile hom
parks (rental) are treated the same as multi-family sine
the property is under one ownership. Mobile hom
subdivisions where the unit sits on a lot that is owned fe
simple are treated like single family subdivisions. Unde
these definitions, the County will provide sewer service t
the property line for the mobile home (rental) park, not t
individual units. It is the responsibility of the par
owner to deliver the waste to this point. Mobile hom
subdivisions will be provided service at each lot line. I
will be the responsibility of the lot owners to connect hi
unit to the sewer tap.

family homes than apartment complexes.

affordable sewer services to these individuals.
