Section 142-31 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances establishes minimum infrastructure standards for utility connections on mobile home lots. Each lot must be equipped with water supply, sanitary drainage, and electrical connections, and where gas is provided, a gas connection as well. All connections must be safely accessible at the mobile home stand, designed to prevent cross-contamination, freezing, leaks, and other hazards, and built to allow secure, watertight or gastight hookups to the mobile home.

Operators of mobile home parks in Ellenville are generally expected to ensure that every lot meets the utility connection requirements set out in § 142-31, including properly positioned water, drainage, electrical, and gas connections. Compliant operators typically verify that water and sanitary drainage connections are separated by a safe distance, that drainage piping maintains a continuous grade, and that electrical receptacles are weatherproof and grounded. Routine inspection of fittings, seals, and connection points helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the watertight and gastight standards the ordinance requires.

If connections appear defective, improperly located, or otherwise noncompliant, tenants may consider documenting the conditions and raising the issue with Ellenville's local code enforcement or building department.
