Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21 § 21-83f
Water capacity and flow to fire hydrants.
Operative Text
(a) Not later than October 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, the owner of a mobile manufactured home park, as defined in section 21-64, shall submit a report to the local fire marshal disclosing the water capacity and flow of each fire hydrant located in such park. (b) If the local fire marshal finds, after reviewing the report submitted pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, that any fire hydrant located in the mobile manufactured home park has insufficient water capacity or flow, or is otherwise not in working order, the local fire marshal shall report such local fire marshal's finding (1) in the form of a complaint to the Department of Consumer Protection, and (2) to the Mobile Manufactured Home Advisory Council established under section 21-84a.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-83f, mobile manufactured home park owners in Connecticut must annually report the water capacity and flow of every fire hydrant in their park to the local fire marshal, starting no later than October 1, 2026. If the fire marshal's review reveals that any hydrant has insufficient capacity, inadequate flow, or is otherwise non-functional, the marshal is required to escalate that finding both to the Department of Consumer Protection and to the Mobile Manufactured Home Advisory Council. This provision creates a structured oversight loop intended to ensure fire hydrants in these communities remain operational.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-83f requires mobile manufactured home park owners to submit an annual report to the local fire marshal covering the water capacity and flow of each fire hydrant on the property, with the first report due by October 1, 2026. Compliant operators generally maintain records of hydrant testing and flow measurements throughout the year so that accurate data is available when the reporting deadline arrives. Because a deficiency finding triggers a formal complaint to the Department of Consumer Protection, operators commonly conduct proactive inspections and address any hydrant issues before the annual submission.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-83f gives residents of mobile manufactured home parks an indirect layer of protection by requiring park owners to disclose fire hydrant conditions to the local fire marshal each year. If a hydrant is found to be deficient, the fire marshal is obligated to file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Protection and notify the Mobile Manufactured Home Advisory Council, both of which are avenues through which concerns can be tracked and addressed. Tenants who believe hydrant conditions in their park are not being properly reported may consider contacting the local fire marshal's office, the Department of Consumer Protection, or a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
