Section 98-43 of Spencer, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances requires that mobile homes, service buildings, and other accessory structures within a regulated development be connected to an adequate water supply. The water supply system must receive approval from the Tioga County Health Department or another authority with jurisdiction over such systems. This rule establishes a baseline public-health standard for water access at covered properties.

Operators of mobile home parks or similar developments subject to Spencer, N.Y., Code ch. 98 § 98-43 are generally expected to ensure that every mobile home, service building, and accessory structure is served by a water supply system that meets adequacy standards. Compliant operators typically obtain and maintain approval from the Tioga County Health Department—or whichever authority holds jurisdiction—before placing a water system into service. Keeping documentation of that approval on file is a common practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance.
