Under Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-17, mobile home parks are required to be situated in areas connected to a public sewer system rather than relying on private or on-site sewage disposal. Any sewage disposal system serving such a park must receive approval from the Dutchess County Department of Health before it can be used. This provision establishes a baseline public-health standard for wastewater management in mobile home park settings.

Section 106-17 of Fishkill's Code of Ordinances entitles residents of mobile home parks to live in a community whose sewage disposal system has been approved by the Dutchess County Department of Health and is connected to a public sewer system. If a tenant has reason to believe the park's sewage system does not meet these requirements, they may consider contacting the Dutchess County Department of Health to inquire about the park's approval status.
