Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-35
Electrical wiring
Operative Text
All electrical connections from the park utility service to the manufactured home shall be provided by underground service. Aboveground electrical cords shall be prohibited. All electrical wiring shall comply with the state electrical code.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-35 establishes that electrical connections running from a manufactured home park's utility service to individual homes must be routed underground, making aboveground electrical cords impermissible. All electrical wiring in this context must also meet Minnesota's state electrical code standards. The rule applies to the infrastructure connecting park utilities to homes, not just the homes' internal wiring.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-35 gives residents of manufactured home parks a basis to expect that their electrical connections from the park's utility service are properly installed underground and free of aboveground cords. If a tenant observes aboveground electrical cords or wiring that appears to violate the state electrical code, they may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the City of Hopkins or the relevant local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing can help residents understand what options may be available when a park's electrical infrastructure appears out of compliance.
