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. 745 § 14.3, when exigent circumstances cause a water supply disruption at a mobile home park, the park owner bears responsibility 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 outage originates from factors entirely outside the park owner's control.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 745 § 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 to each household. The volume provided is benchmarked to the World Health Organization's lower-range per-person survival quantity, so operators typically familiarize themselves with those figures in advance. Documenting the nature and origin of any disruption is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating whether the statutory exemption for factors outside the park's control applies.

Section 745 § 14.3 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes gives mobile home park residents the 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. The amount owed is tied to World Health Organization survival-level guidelines on a per-person basis, and the obligation continues until normal service is restored. Residents who believe this right has been violated may consider documenting the outage timeline, contacting local housing or health authorities, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available remedies.
