Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 225-13
Sanitary sewers
Operative Text
A. Each manufactured home space shall be provided with a sewer, which shall be connected to the manufactured home unit situated on the manufactured home space, to receive the waste from the shower, tub, flushed toilet, lavatory and kitchen sink in such home. The sewer shall be connected to a public or private off-site sewer so as not to present a health hazard. Sewer connections in unoccupied manufactured home spaces shall be so sealed as to prevent the emission of any odors and the creation of breeding places for insects. B. All waste from showers, tubs, toilets, laundries, faucets, sinks and lavatories shall be wasted into a public sewer system or a private disposal system whose design, capacity, construction and operation are approved by the Erie County Health Department and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Each manufactured home space shall be provided with a satisfactory sewer connection approved by the Erie County Health Department and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. C. All sanitary sewer connections to manufactured homes shall be constructed and tested in compliance with Town and Erie County Health Department standards. D. All sanitary sewer mains within manufactured home parks shall be laid out in a manner that provides access for maintenance. E. All sewer lines within a manufactured home park shall remain in private ownership.
Section 225-13 of Grand Island's Code of Ordinances establishes sanitary sewer requirements for manufactured home parks. Every manufactured home space must have a sewer connection that handles waste from key fixtures—showers, tubs, toilets, lavatories, and kitchen sinks—and that connection must tie into either a public sewer or an approved private disposal system. Unoccupied spaces must have sealed connections to prevent odors and insect breeding, and all sewer infrastructure within the park remains privately owned while meeting standards set by the Erie County Health Department and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Grand Island must ensure that each space under Section 225-13 is equipped with a properly functioning sewer connection tied to an approved public or private disposal system. Compliant park operators obtain approval from the Erie County Health Department and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for all waste disposal systems, and they seal sewer connections in vacant spaces to prevent odors and pest breeding. Sewer mains are laid out to allow maintenance access, and because all sewer lines within the park remain in private ownership under § 225-13, operators are responsible for ongoing upkeep and compliance with Town and Erie County construction and testing standards.
