Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-37
Surface drainage
Operative Text
Every mobile home park shall be located on a well-drained area and the premises shall be properly graded and equipped with storm sewers if necessary so as to prevent the accumulation of storm or other waters on the lots and roadways.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-37 establishes that mobile home parks must be situated on land that drains well and must be graded and fitted with storm sewer infrastructure when needed to keep standing water from collecting on lots and roadways. The rule addresses both the selection of the site and the ongoing physical condition of the property. It applies to the park as a whole rather than to individual residents.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-37, operators of mobile home parks are generally expected to evaluate site drainage conditions, maintain proper grading across the property, and install storm sewer systems wherever standing water would otherwise accumulate on lots or roadways. Compliant park managers typically conduct periodic inspections of drainage infrastructure and address grading deficiencies before water pooling becomes a recurring problem. Keeping records of drainage assessments and any improvements made can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-37 gives mobile home park residents a basis to raise concerns when lots or roadways in their park experience persistent standing water due to inadequate grading or missing storm sewer infrastructure. Tenants who observe such conditions may consider documenting the problem with photographs and written records, then reporting the issue to the relevant Hopkins municipal code enforcement office. Local tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a park appears to fall short of the drainage standards this provision establishes.
