Each utility system must be sized to handle the full capacity of the court at maximum occupancy, and private alternatives to public systems require approval from the appropriate health authority.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts in Palmyra are generally expected to ensure that all utility systems covered under ch. 121 § 121-17 — water, sewage, gas, and electricity — are engineered and maintained to meet peak demand across all connected homes. Where public water or sewer service is unavailable, compliant operators typically secure prior approval from the relevant State, County, or City Health Department before installing and operating a private system. Electrical and gas systems should be designed so that capacity and pressure remain adequate even at the point farthest from the supply source.
