Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-26
Water supply
Operative Text
A. The water supply system shall be designed to provide a sufficient supply of potable water, under adequate pressure, to outlets servicing mobile homes, community structures, drinking fountains, hose connections, hydrants, etc. B. Where a public water supply system is not available, an adequate private water supply system, approved by the state, county or municipal health department having jurisdiction, shall be provided.
Section 142-26 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances establishes that any water supply system serving a mobile home park must deliver safe, drinkable water at adequate pressure to all relevant outlets, including those serving individual homes, common facilities, and fire connections. When a public water system is not accessible, a private system may be used instead, but it must first receive approval from the appropriate state, county, or municipal health authority. The rule applies to the design and provision of the system itself, not just its day-to-day operation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to ch. 142 § 142-26 generally ensure that their water supply infrastructure is engineered to meet potable water and pressure standards across all outlet types listed in the provision. Where a public connection is unavailable, compliant operators obtain formal approval from the relevant health department—whether state, county, or municipal—before relying on a private water supply system. Maintaining documentation of that approval and conducting periodic system checks are practices commonly associated with ongoing compliance.

Under Ellenville Code ch. 142 § 142-26, residents of mobile home parks have an interest in receiving potable water at adequate pressure, and the park's water system is required to meet those standards by design. If water pressure is consistently inadequate, water quality appears compromised, or a private system lacks the required health department approval, tenants may consider raising the issue with Ellenville's local code enforcement office or the applicable health department. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park law can help residents understand what documentation or complaint processes may be available to them.
