Code R392-402-5 establishes standards for potable water supply systems in manufactured home communities. The rule requires that water systems be designed, installed, and operated in compliance with the state Plumbing Code, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Drinking Water rules under Title R309, and local health department regulations. Each home space must have its own potable water connection with a specific type of shut-off valve, and any shared service buildings with showers, sinks, or laundry must have hot and cold running water under pressure. Spaces designated for temporary dwellings without built-in plumbing must have access to a common non-threaded water faucet or spigot.

Operators of manufactured home communities in Utah must comply with R392-402-5 by ensuring every home space is equipped with a potable water connection using an inverted key pattern stop-and-waste valve or an approved anti-siphon yard hydrant. Compliant operators coordinate with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Drinking Water and local health departments to verify that their water systems meet all applicable design and operational standards. Service buildings offering showers, hand sinks, or laundry facilities must be supplied with both hot and cold running water under pressure, and any temporary-dwelling areas without individual plumbing must include an accessible, non-threaded common water faucet.
