Section 127-15 of Cambria, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 127 establishes the water supply standards that must be met in mobile home parks. The rule requires that each park connect to a public water supply when one is available, maintain water pressure of at least 40 psi at service points, and ensure all piping and fixtures meet state and local health standards. Individual lots must have properly positioned riser pipes, shutoff valves below the frost line, and protections against freezing, backflow, and back siphonage.

Operators of mobile home parks in Cambria are generally expected to comply with every element of § 127-15 by connecting to the public water supply, using only potable water sources, and having all distribution system plans reviewed and approved by the Town of Cambria Water Department. Compliant park managers typically ensure that each lot has a properly installed riser pipe extending at least four inches above grade, a shutoff valve below the frost line, and a cap on any unoccupied lot's water outlet. Ongoing maintenance practices under this section include protecting service lines from freezing, maintaining minimum 40 psi pressure, and keeping all piping free from connections to nonpotable sources.

Residents of mobile home parks in Cambria are entitled under § 127-15 to a safe, adequate, and potable water supply delivered at sufficient pressure, with properly maintained infrastructure at their lot. If a tenant observes conditions that appear to fall short of these standards—such as low water pressure, exposed or uncapped riser pipes, or suspected cross-connections—they may consider documenting the issue and raising it with park management or the relevant local health authority. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can provide general information about how to pursue a complaint or raise a violation under Chapter 127 if concerns are not addressed.
