Water supply requirement. If exigent circumstances arise, the park owner is responsible for providing a water supply to each household. The amount shall be determined based on the lower-range quantity of water needed for survival, per person, pursuant to the World Health Organization's guidelines. The park owner shall provide water following a 3-day period in which the normal supply of water is disrupted, and shall provide water for as long as the disruption in water service continues. This Section does not apply if the disruption of water service originates from factors outside the control of the mobile home park.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.3, when exigent circumstances cause a disruption to the normal water supply at a mobile home park, the park owner becomes responsible for supplying water to each household once the disruption has lasted three days. The quantity of water to be provided is based on the World Health Organization's lower-range survival guidelines, calculated per person. This obligation continues for the duration of the disruption, but does not apply when the cause of the water service interruption originates from factors outside the park owner's control.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.3, compliant park operators generally monitor water service continuity and, when a disruption extends beyond three days due to exigent circumstances within the park's control, arrange for delivery or distribution of water meeting WHO lower-range survival quantities for each resident. Operators typically document the nature and cause of any water service disruption to establish whether the exception for factors outside the park's control applies. Maintaining records of the disruption timeline, its cause, and any water provisioning efforts is a common practice for demonstrating compliance with this section.

Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.3 establishes that residents of a mobile home park have a right to receive a minimum water supply from the park owner when a water disruption caused by exigent circumstances within the park's control has lasted more than three days. Tenants who believe this right has been violated may consider documenting the disruption, including its start date and any communications with park management, as a foundation for raising a potential violation. General enforcement paths can include contacting local housing or health authorities, consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Illinois mobile home park law, or raising the violation as a defense or claim in relevant legal proceedings.
