SEWAGE DISPOSAL
Operative Text
(A) All plumbing in the mobile home park shall comply with state and local plumbing laws and regulations. (B) Each independent mobile home space shall be provided with at least a three inch sewer connection. The sewer connection shall be provided with suitable fittings so that a watertight connection can be made between the mobile home drains and the sewer connection. Such individual mobile home connections shall be so constructed that they can be closed when not linked to a mobile home and shall be capped so as to prevent any escape of odors. (C) Sewer lines shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the health officer and in accordance with the recommendations of such health officer. All sewer lines shall be adequately vented and shall be laid with sufficient earth cover to prevent breakage from traffic. (D) Where the sewer lines of the mobile home park are not connected to a public sewer, a method of sewage disposal approved by the health officer shall be provided. The design of such sewage treatment facilities shall be based on the maximum capacity of the mobile home park. Effluents from sewage treatment facilities shall not be discharged into any waters of the state except with prior approval of the appropriate state authority and the local health officer. The disposal facilities shall be located where they will not create a nuisance or health hazard to the mobile home park or to the owner or occupants of any adjacent property. The approval of the health officer shall be obtained on the type of treatment proposed and on the design of the disposal plant prior to construction. (1964 Code, § 13A-18)

Operators of mobile home parks in Bellevue are generally expected to ensure full compliance with Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 17, art. II § 17-29 by maintaining plumbing that meets state and local codes, equipping each space with a properly fitted and capped sewer connection, and obtaining health officer approval before constructing or modifying sewer lines. When a park is not connected to a public sewer system, compliant operators typically secure health officer approval for any alternative sewage treatment design before construction begins and ensure disposal facilities are sited so they do not create nuisances or health hazards for neighboring properties.
