Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 § 225-12 establishes the water infrastructure requirements that a manufactured home park must meet before a license can be issued. The park's water system must connect to a public supply approved by the Erie County Health Department, with pipes running to every home stand and service building. A Town-approved master water meter, properly sized mains of at least eight inches in diameter, and individual service terminals with frost-resistant hardware are all required, and all waterlines remain under private ownership.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Grand Island should understand that § 225-12 ties licensure directly to water system compliance, meaning no license is issued until all requirements are satisfied. A compliant park operator ensures the system is connected to the Erie County Health Department–approved public supply, has a Town Engineer–approved master meter pit installed, runs properly sized mains (at minimum eight inches in diameter) to each stand, and equips each space with the specified service terminals and locking hardware. Because all waterlines remain in private ownership under this section, operators generally maintain ongoing responsibility for their upkeep and condition.

Residents of manufactured home parks in Grand Island benefit from § 225-12 because it requires that any licensed park provide a code-compliant water system connected to a public supply and individually piped to each home stand. If a tenant believes the water infrastructure at their park does not meet these standards, they may consider contacting the Erie County Health Department or the Town of Grand Island directly, as licensure is conditioned on compliance with this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing law can help residents understand what documentation or complaint processes may be available to them.
