Lincoln Municipal Code § 21.56.130 requires that every mobile home or trailer space in a park be connected to the city's sanitary sewer system. Community buildings and other facilities that produce sewage must also tie into either the city sewer or an approved private system. All sewer mains, house sewers, and riser piping must be installed in accordance with the Lincoln Plumbing Code.

Under § 21.56.130, operators of mobile home or trailer parks in Lincoln are expected to ensure that each individual space has a functioning connection to the city sanitary sewer, with no space left unconnected. Community facilities such as laundry rooms or bathhouses that generate sewage must similarly connect to an approved sewer system. Compliant park operators also verify that all sewer mains, house sewers, and riser piping are installed in conformance with the Lincoln Plumbing Code before spaces are occupied.

Section § 21.56.130 establishes that residents of mobile home or trailer spaces have a right to a space connected to a properly installed sanitary sewer system meeting Lincoln's standards. If a space lacks a proper sewer connection or the infrastructure appears to violate the Lincoln Plumbing Code, tenants may consider contacting Lincoln's city code enforcement or building and safety offices to report the condition. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nebraska housing law can also help residents understand what options may be available when sewer infrastructure does not meet the requirements of this provision.
