Operators of manufactured home communities in Manchester should ensure, under ch. 217 § 217-19, that their sewage infrastructure is sized for full occupancy and kept in continuous compliance with Town and state standards. Where a public sewer line is accessible, compliant operators connect to it exclusively rather than maintaining a private disposal system. When public sewer is unavailable, operators typically obtain advance approval from the Town Engineer and applicable state agencies before installing or modifying any disposal facility.
