Lysander, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 195 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 195-20
Sewage disposal
Operative Text
A. General requirements. An adequate and safe sewage system shall be provided in all mobile home parks for conveying and disposing of sewage from mobile homes, service buildings and other accessory facilities. Such system shall be designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the Onondaga Health Department regulations. B. Individual sewer connections. (1) Each mobile home stand shall be provided with at least a four-inch diameter sewer riser pipe. The sewer riser pipe shall be so located on each stand that the sewer connection to the mobile home drain outlet will approximate a vertical position. (2) The sewer connection shall have a nominal inside diameter of not less than three inches, and the slope of any portion thereof shall be at least 1/4 of an inch per foot. All joints shall be watertight. (3) All materials used for sewer connections shall be semirigid, corrosive-resistant, nonabsorbent and durable. The inner surface shall be smooth. (4) Provision shall be made for plugging the sewer riser pipe when a mobile home does not occupy the lot. Surface drainage shall be diverted away from the riser. The rim of the riser pipe shall extend at least 1/2 inch above the ground elevation. C. Sewer lines. All sewer lines shall be located in trenches of sufficient depth to be free of breakage from traffic or other movements and shall be separated from the park water supply system. All sewer lines shall be constructed of materials approved by the Onondaga County Health Department and shall have watertight joints. D. Sewage treatment and/or discharge. Where the sewer lines of the mobile home park are not connected to a public sewer, all proposed sewage disposal facilities shall be approved by the Onondaga County Health Department prior to and after construction.
Section 195-20 of Lysander's Code of Ordinances requires that all mobile home parks maintain a complete, safe sewage system covering everything from individual home connections to the broader sewer line network. Each mobile home stand must have a properly sized and positioned sewer riser pipe, and all connecting materials must meet specific standards for durability, smoothness, and watertightness. Where a park is not tied into a public sewer system, any private sewage disposal facilities must receive approval from the Onondaga County Health Department both before and after construction. The entire system must be designed, built, and maintained in accordance with Onondaga County Health Department regulations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Lysander are generally expected to ensure that every aspect of their sewage infrastructure complies with § 195-20, from the individual four-inch riser pipes at each stand to the depth and material quality of sewer lines throughout the park. Compliant operators typically verify that all sewer connections meet the minimum three-inch interior diameter and slope requirements, that joints are watertight, and that riser pipes are properly plugged when a lot is unoccupied. Parks not connected to a public sewer system should coordinate with the Onondaga County Health Department to obtain the required approvals before and after any sewage disposal facility is constructed or modified.

Residents of mobile home parks in Lysander are entitled to an adequate and safe sewage system under § 195-20, including properly installed and maintained sewer connections at their individual stands. If a tenant observes conditions suggesting the sewage system is not being maintained — such as exposed or unplugged riser pipes, poor drainage, or signs of sewage failure — these may represent violations of this provision and of Onondaga County Health Department standards. Tenants who believe their park is out of compliance may consider contacting the Onondaga County Health Department, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a housing attorney to understand available options.
