All driveways shall be well marked in the daytime and adequately lighted at night with a minimum of 100 watt lamps at minimum intervals of 100 feet, located approximately 15 feet from the ground. E.

G. Every trailer camp shall have erected thereon, at a distance not greater than 300 feet from any unit it is designed to serve, a suitable building of masonry or frame construction for housing toilets, showers and laundry facilities as required by this chapter, such building to be known as the "service building." (1) There shall be provided separate toilet rooms for each sex. Flush toilets provided with an adequate water supply shall be enclosed in separate compartments having a minimum width of three feet, and shall be provided for each sex in the ratio of one toilet for each 10 dependent units or fraction thereof. Every male toilet room shall have one urinal for each 10 dependent units or fraction.

(5) Adequate heating facilities to maintain a temperature of 70° F. during cold weather shall be provided. H. Disposal of sewage and other water-carried wastes. (1) All sewage and other water-carried wastes shall be disposed of into a municipal sewage system whenever available. In house trailer camps in which such connections are not available, disposal shall be into a private system which includes a sanitary means of disposal, the operation of which creates neither a nuisance or a menace to health. (2) When a water carriage system of sewage is used, each camp unit shall be provided with a sewer connection for the combined liquid waste outlet or outlets of each house trailer, and trapped below the frost line. It shall be the duty of the owner or operator of said trailer camp to provide a watertight and odortight connection from the trailer water drainage to the sewer connection and it shall be the duty of said owner or operator to make such connections and keep all occupied trailers connected to said sewer while located in a trailer camp. Sewer connections in unoccupied camp units shall be so closed that they will emit no odors or cause a breeding place for flies. No water or waste shall be allowed to fall on the ground from a house trailer. I. Garbage disposal. Each such trailer camp constructed, altered or expanded after the effective date of this chapter shall provide equipment sufficient to prevent littering of the grounds and premises with rubbish, garbage and refuse and shall provide a flytight storage building or buildings at a convenient location or locations equipped with flytight metal depositories of sufficient size and number to contain all the garbage and refuse that may accumulate between removals from the premises.
