Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts in Massena must ensure that all utility systems described in § 186-64 — water, sewage, gas, and electricity — are engineered with sufficient capacity for the court's maximum occupancy. When public water or sewer connections are not accessible, a private system must receive prior approval from the relevant state, county, or Village health department before it is placed into service. Compliant operators also maintain documentation showing that electrical conductors are not loaded beyond their rated capacity and that gas pressure remains adequate at the most distant connection point.
